Fake News Spin

Now that the President thinks NBC should lose their broadcasting rights because of reporting fake news I think it's time to remind people what fake news is.

Misdirection, turn aside, divert, deflect, draw away, avert, switch, sidetrack, branch off, distract, preoccupy, divaricate and of course the big one.....LIE....and yes, maybe hallucinate should be included.

These are simply a few words that describe why fake news is created.  Of course often times fake news is created simply to increase readership or viewership.

Alex Jones is a prime example of someone who just does it for the publicity and then later ends up in court apologizing while in the meantime thousands of people have repeated his bullshit and urban legends are born.

Our President has used name calling and ridiculous allegations since he first started running for the office.  I'm also going to guess that throughout his business career he has made up stuff to further his personal coffers.  An extensive research into his business dealings will most likely result in many people not being a big fan....such as the people who enrolled in his pretend college.

Remember this is the guy who said he wrote a book who actually didn't write the book, Art of a Deal.

The only story that I wish was fake news 
happened on November 9 2016 

The newspaper headline read

TRUMP WINS ELECTION. 

The entire first 9 months of this administration has been so weird
that fake news seems
normal.

So many ways to spin the truth and so many more ways to spin a lie.

It really does get confusing and explains why people don't pay attention and it really explains how someone like Donald Trump can get elected President of the United States.

The entire situation seems like a huge FAKE NEWS SPIN.

Ouch!
