Fake News

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

When we were much younger these idiots didn’t vote and they were only allowed speech through the tabloids in the supermarket checkout aisles.
Trump: “We had the safest border in the history of our country - or at least recorded history. I guess maybe a thousand years ago it was even better.”

Ex-GOP Comms Director Unleashes Her Truth About 'MAGA World' After Verdict Hoax
Tara Setmayer let loose on MSNBC following a debunked Facebook post about Trump's hush money trial that conservatives ran with anyway.


... Mohyeldin had noted how conservatives completely bought a Facebook entry supposedly from the cousin of a juror who claimed that Trump would be convicted before the verdict was announced. Judge Juan Merchan, who oversaw the trial, shared the post with Trump’s legal team and prosecutors.

In a cynical belief that the fix was in, Fox News’ Sean Hannity called for a mistrial, and other right-wing personalities cried foul.

Mohyeldin predicted that Trump and surrogates will continue to promote the random post as evidence of injustice, even though the author was a self-avowed “professional shitposter” who said they were merely trolling.

The conspiracy theory will live on for Trump loyalists, Mohyeldin pointed out....

“Trump and his acolytes can continue to do this, but the average American independent moderate voters, they’re sick of it and not comfortable voting for a convicted felon, nor should they,” she continued.



Setmayer was the communications director for former Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.). She later renounced her Republican affiliation in 2020 over the “malignancy of Trumpism.”

I recognize the sarcasm, but you know he or somebody on his behalf is going to mistakenly whine about that. Pretty sure the answer is that the First may give him the right to express his, ummm, "opinion" but doesn't guarantee him a media platform to say it from.

That and the reality that first amendment rights are not absolute.

US Supreme Court won't curb Biden administration social media contacts

The U.S. Supreme Court declined on Wednesday to impose limits on the way President Joe Biden's administration may communicate with social media platforms, rejecting a challenge made on free speech grounds to how officials encouraged the removal of posts deemed misinformation, including about elections and COVID.

The justices, in a 6-3 ruling, overturned a lower court's 2023 decision that various federal officials likely violated the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment, which protects against governmental abridgment of free speech, in a case brought by the states of Missouri and Louisiana and five individuals.

The New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals had issued an injunction constraining such contacts by the administration.
:happy-cheerleaderkid:
... The justices also are expected in the coming days to rule on the legality of Republican-backed laws in Florida and Texas intended to restrain social media companies from curbing content that their platforms deem objectionable.
:think: Abbott and Fascist DerSantis detest business freedom.

A Bugatti car, a first lady and the fake stories aimed at Americans

A network of Russia-based websites masquerading as local American newspapers is pumping out fake stories as part of an AI-powered operation that is increasingly targeting the US election, a BBC investigation can reveal.

A former Florida police officer who relocated to Moscow is one of the key figures behind it.

... A story which originated on DC Weekly, claiming that Ukrainian officials bought yachts with US military aid, was repeated by several members of Congress, including Senator J D Vance and Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Mr Vance is one of a handful of politicians mentioned as a potential vice-presidential running mate for Donald Trump....
Figures. MAGAts and other democracy-hating RWers are sooo gullible!

Kamala Harris’s ex-boyfriend hits out over doctored photo of her with Sean Combs
Montel Williams, whom the vice-president briefly dated, speaks out after fake image showed her with rapper instead of him


Image

... A social media post from a Right-wing account claimed to show Ms Harris grinning and linking arms with the rapper, who was charged with sex trafficking and racketeering on Tuesday.

However, the photograph actually shows the vice president with Montel Williams, a television host who she briefly dated in the early 2000s....

Williams responded: “Here they go again with ‘all black people look alike…’”

Image
The genuine picture featured Montel Williams, the talk show host whom Ms Harris briefly dated

... In fact, the unedited photograph shows Ms Harris with Williams and his daughter at an event in California to raise money for research into multiple sclerosis in 2001....

Donald Trump, the Republican candidate, has previously posted fake AI images of Taylor Swift endorsing him on his Truth Social account. The Shake It Off singer later endorsed Ms Harris, after citing her concerns about the doctored photographs....

TRE45QN and the Russians - peas in a pod.
The U.S. has a new strategy for combating foreign election interference, but will it work?

... In an internal memo titled “Guerrilla Media Campaign in the United States,” organizers of the propaganda project outlined how to plant false stories through manufactured social media accounts and news sites.

“In order for this work to be effective, you need to use a minimum of fake news and a maximum of realistic information,” the secret memo said. “At the same time, you should continuously repeat that this is what is really happening, but the official media will never tell you about it or show it to you."

The instructions were part of what the Kremlin-backed team called “Project Good Old USA,” a concerted campaign to spread false information across social media to promote Donald Trump’s candidacy in the 2024 election, according to U.S. officials and court documents....
