Why is the MSM suddenly talking about "Fake News?"

Why is the MSM suddenly talking about "Fake News?"

I've never heard the term before the aftermath of the election.

Censorship

they got caught spreading fake news so now they're trying to say that it's the other clan spreading fake news

Don't be a dumb cuck. They're trying to preface people looking into pizzagate and getting them to think it's not real.

Because they're losing viewers and other smaller media outlets are getting more attention. Keep in mind Media companies are all owned by someone who has a financial interest in this so you have to look at it like a big company trying to buy out the smaller mom and pop stores. This is just one of tactics they're using

>(((We))) lost the election because of those pesky right wing news websites spreading truth n shit
>better shut them down

Controlling the narrative to delude the masses into buying into their credibility (and cement their roles as the fountainheads of narrative) while simultaneously creating a buzzword that immediately discredits a source that isn't (((them))), so that they may undermine information that undermines them, the State, and the (((elites))) they represent.

The media suppressed discussion of fake news until after the election because they didn't want to seem biased against conservatives in the runup to the election.

alt-right == anti-establishment
fake news == anti-establishment articles/stories

They want to have soul control of any media. They want people to take them as if they where the only reliable news source. They need to seal there echo chamber so all there viewers can feel "safe"

Its all Irony since CNN is the fake news.

you are clearly full of shit. Please go on and continue serenading us with your stupidity.

to suppress pizzagate

Because they live inside a bubble and are unable to understand why Trump won so they have to create a new boogeyman since the white supremacist neo Nazi homophobe Islamophobe xenophobe misogynist bigot spiel isn't working anymore

gamergate on a more massive scale

Orwell predicted this, he called it doublespeak, saying the opposite of what you practice.

Pretext for censorship

This is literally the opposite of what happened. Facebook admitted to actively suppressing pro-conservative news from trending and google manually tweaked their algorithm to hide any suggestions involving Hillary and crime.

It's also just a basic effective strategy. Trump employs it. Turn your weaknesses into strengths.

projecting real hard

ask their boss

Trying to prevent the population getting access to non-biased news before the next election.

then you were not paying attention during the election...makes sense really.

Actually nothing of the kind happened.

this, and conveniently it also justifies censoring thoughtcrime

Almost every major news outlet was spreading fake as fuck news about Trump during the entire campaign. They are now trying to get ahead of this thing by calling for fake news to be censored, IE news showing them spreading fake news.

It's like the alt right. They may up new words to distract people.

its been around for a long time, people are just freaking out now cause they've come to rely on it

wikileaks showed that all the MSM is just propaganda so now they are trying to discredit anyone who reports it as "fake news" pretty pathetic.

MSM buzzword to try and surprise right wing talking points.

The MSM is losing ratings because it's complete garbage and everyone gets their news elsewhere. They want to slander actual good news outlets because they're jealous, worthless, assholes who don't have a single admirable quality of their own.

>Why is the MSM suddenly talking about "Fake News?"
If they don't talk about "fake news" they'll have to explain how they all got the 2016 election wrong.

Why talk about how:
>we were biased
>we were colluding with the DNC
>we were actively campaigning for Hillary
>we were intentionally skewing polls
>we were intentionally ignoring Trump rallies and enthusiasm
>we were specifically trying to suppress right wing votes
>we were spending millions to support Hillary
>we were giving Hillary free air time and positive coverage
>we did literally everything in our power to aid Hillary and the Democrats
When you could say "fake news won the election for Trump."

Fake news that no one even knows about or has even read, that only appears on some kikebook page that no one can confirm. Supposedly THAT is the one lesson they want people to learn from 2016. Not that they were wrong, but that everyone was "tricked" by "fake news."

It's a good juke.

It's some ministry of truth shit. Google, FB, and the MSM will conspire together to "protect" us from "fake news". You will be blocked from viewing anything but the CNN version of events.

Fox will probably be kept around as controlled opposition.

Basically chickens with their heads cut off. Everyone has known about garbage bullshit politically biased news on social media before the start of this decade, and smarmy pundits have always idly pawed with the idea of it affecting the outcome of an election. Now that every MSM prediction got completely BTFO and there still isn't full consensus on what the fuck actually happened, they're reaching for every bottle in the medicine cabinet of possible excuses for whatever makes them feel relevant and blameless.

On the other hand it's the worthless MSM that's trying to spread this shit.

They're clowns. The only people I know who take any of their bullshit seriously are like 80.

Fuck you clowns, just keep being entertaining and stop trying to make us think you matter.

Damage control.

The majority of main steam news is by definition, "fake". They've turned into sensationalist tabloid garbage.

Basically, they're projecting,

Literally oy vey shut it down

...

Republicans are slow and it took them 30 years to realize they can distribute fake news on the internet.

The best defense is a good offense.

Some Facebook employees said their views were being discriminated against. That doesn't mean they were right, any more than every time someone shouts 'THAT'S RACIST!!!' it's true.

In the case of Google, autocomplete suggestions are configured to avoid potentially libelous material. You can verify that by typing 'trump pedo', 'hillary pedo', and 'podesta pedo' into the search bar and noting what autocomplete/autosearch do - 'pizza' will get suggested for podesta, because the nazis have been pimping pizzagate, but 'pedophile' won't even though it's PRETTY FUCKING OBVIOUS that anyone typing 'trump pedo', 'podesta pedo', or 'hillary pedo' is going be trying to figure out how to spell 'pedophile' in a few minutes. (Bonus hilarity: 'fred west pedo' doesn't autocomplete the obvious.)

A few weeks (months?) back, trumpists whined that 'crooked hillary' needed to be included in autocomplete. Google obligingly manually added an exception to let autocomplete suggest 'crooked hillary'.

You can verify that there are manual patches to the autocomplete by comparing what it suggests for the following phrases with the size of the search results.

crooked dute
crooked hill
crooked trum

Note that while it's CURRENTLY unbiased on hillaryvstrump, the first time I checked 'crooked hillary' had an exception while 'crooked trump' suggested 'crooked trumpet'.
