GOP creates fake news sites

******>I'm not sure what makes them 'fake'.

Their attempt to look like a mainstream news source, and hiding the source of the "news."

Compare this to a company that sends you a letter that looks identical to your water bill, and asks for payment. In the corner there's a tiny note "from Waterworks Inc." (And if you pay it you get a brand new R/O filter system!)

That might not be dishonest - if you read closely enough you could determine that it was not in fact your water bill, and that your money would be going to a different organization. But I would still find that fake and misleading. They would be counting on people to NOT read carefully and just believe what they read because it looks like a bill they are used to.

I think it is kind of cool

Do they all act and look like ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC?

Just more fake news sights on the list for our viewing pleasure

I think it is kind of cool how you love the media when they agree with you, but hate the media when they disagree with you.

I rarely watch them anymore
I call out the bs
Same as you
but I guess I dont feel the need to make this a personal issue like you do

if we falter and lose our freedoms,
it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

Excpet that bs is defined as: when they don't agree with me.

On another thread you are using a newspaper article to support your view point. Here you are decrying how the media is useless.

Wish my wife could suck and blow at the same time like that.....

Of course you do.

(Next democrats will come out with a pro-Obamacare site that looks like a news site and you will call for Obama's arrest.)

We already have pro obama and pro obamacare sights
I listed them above already

I also think it is kind of cool that you will soon be quoting some of these sites to support your viewpoints.

Like this one that calls out the fake news sites??

Kurtz: Some Liberal Outlets Creating 'Almost a Lynch Mob Mentality' in Ferguson

But one has to understand this is what the media was hoping for

As more info comes out going agains the narative they will go away

Hence, we call them the drive by media

BTW
Lots of things are cool today dont you think

You can define anything anyway you want
Does not make it true
But the liberal mentality cannot help do what you demonstrate here

So, what else to you proclaim to be a fact about me??

I can hardly wait

Not THIS is true

No. Not like that.

Just because it's something you disagree with doesn't make it the same as what Bill disagreed with in the OP.

Do you want to have an ideagasm?

It's nice to know the level of accuracy that you're happy with. It lets people know how much credence to give to your content.

It works both ways amigo and if yout think your opinions and viewpoints make you a virtuous child of the light and those who disagree with you children of the darkness, you're sadly mistaken.

You're confused as to the situation at hand. Badly.

The story here is we have a party creating fake news sites to campaign with. And we have others rightfully mocking them for it. Yes, in this context, the children of the light are the ones that aren't acting as charlatans. The fakers are the darkies. The actual viewpoints are irrelevant, it's the false presentation that is at hand.

And more specific to my comments to you shrieking "first amendment rights, man!" You need learn what it actually means. If you say stupid things, I have the right to label you for those remarks, to not hire you, or fire you (in an at will state). I'm not the government. I'm allowed to sanction you for the things you say, outside a very narrow band of protected classes.

Though even to that point, the two parties are regulated by the FEC and part of that mandates that they put the identification on the bottom frame. They do not have unfettered freedom of speech and if they violate it, people can call for them to be penalized for it and not violate Constitutional rights in the process.

I trust that when the other side is discovered to be doing the same thing (as you allege), you will be demonstrating the same level of indignation?

I won't be holding my breath.

[jakee 1,610]

Why don't you worry about that after you've discovered whether they're doing it?

And I trust you won't criticize the Dems if they do it, just like you won't criticize the GOP. Yeah, right.

I think you SHOULD hold your breath until the "other side" is discovered to be doing the same thing, since you are so sure that it is.

Put your breath where your mouth is.

How could either side be criticized if this is in compliance with the law? These are ads by the National Republican Congressional Committee chaired by Rep. Greg Walden (OR-02).

You can criticize the approach all you like. OK you don't have a soft spot in your heart for Republicans. Fine with me. But if FEC laws are not being broken don't be screaming foul when the other side does it. OBTW, since I do live and work in the Washington D.C. area, we see this stuff all the time by BOTH sides.

Please refer to my comment back to DanG. I don't chew my cabbage twice.

[Boomerdog 0]

Refer to my response to DanG.

[jakee 1,610]

OK great. So I guess that means we'll never see you criticize anything that any party or politician ever does that isn't technically illegal. 'Cos there's no difference between illegal and unethical.

Where's that one coming from in context to the subject? The Establishment Clause constrains Congress, not a private employer. Was a I taking about a private employer? I don't think so.

Is this method legal? You might not like the style, the subject matter, the viewpoint much less agree it. Ok so someone in the press that is probably not a fan of the GOP reports this and has a hissy fit. The GOP is quite frankly rudderless and dysfunctional (IMHO) but I don't think anyone of the members of the NRCC who are Members of Congress want to go to jail...oh how the DNC and their lapdogs in the MSM would have a heyday over that one. One thing the NRCC did, had to do, was run this by their General Counsel to make sure they were not in violation of FEC laws. Personally I don't pay too much attention as I hear this stuff all the time in the local news media that is the National Capitol Region i.e Washington D.C. and after listening to a bunch of them over the years, ya get to know who's doing them and it's BOTH sides.

For a guy who won't chew his cabbage twice, why are you responding twice to the same post of mine? Didn't like the way it turned out yesterday?

The context was your remark to Bill: "CoolCan you say...First Amendment!"

I don't believe anyone has said it is illegal. Just despicable. At which point you tried to say it was protected by the First, implying that Bill had no right to complain. Just a hint - it comes from that same Right.

In any event, tell us when you find the DNC's fake news papers.
