Is FakeNews real? With examples like Richard Jewel, Sandyhook, UVA Campus Rape, Michael Brown. An organization called First Draft started it, and was sponsored by Media Matters and Obama supporters like Eric Schmidt and got Google News Labs involved in created the narrative in 2015: that you could only trust far left sources on what was fake or real. But the FakeNews backfired on the creators like WaPo, that now run from the term, because it applies too well to them. |

She dived into fake medical stories, and Wikipedia. She deconstructed the problem with Wikipedia when author Philip Roth was not allowed to make edits on his own page, because he wasn't considered a credible source to comment on himself or his books characters. Or that there were paid promoters editors on there, or an audit had 90% of their medical articles disagreeing with medical research, and so on. |
