(129,304 posts)He will hold a press conference in front of dozens of WH reporters and spout some policy nonsense and then go on Fake the Nation on a Sunday and insist that "he didn't say that"... and they will say "okay" and move on to something else, letting the bullshit stand.

Dump might not pass his security background check. Too much involvement with Russia?

The story does indicate that "The Democratic Coalition Against Trump reported Steve Bannon to the FBI on Tuesday morning after learning that he likely broke campaign finance laws during his time as CEO for the Trump campaign."
Probably nothing inherently false about the article since it is saying it was just a report to the FBI. But I do worry about people who won't read it carefully enough and thereby be mislead. That he was reported to the FBI is interesting enough I suppose, but the real news would be if the FBI took the report seriously and we saw an actual investigation or indictment. I think a lot of stories like these contributed to my feeling that Hillary would win in a landslide and I'm starting to resent the echo chamber I created for myself online.

The report is the report and my post is not fake.
Funny that Fox News is nowhere on your list of fake news sites.
Whether or not the FBI completes an invesigation will also be news at that time.
You post is not unlike the FBI announcing that they have discovered new HRC emails in an unrelated criminal investigation..meaning"
NO CONTENT.

(24,653 posts)Were it mine, I certainly would include Fox News on a list of misleading sources. Probably have it top the list actually.
I did not say your post was fake. I also said there was probably nothing inherently false about the article. I do, however, believe it is hyping something that can be easily glossed over in the detail by a casual reader and raise hopes that finally justice may be done. In that way, the story is somewhat misleading in making it sound like a bigger deal than it most likely is.
Just look at the responses you got.

""" Trump Senior White House Adviser Steve Bannon Reported To The FBI For Potential Felony ""
"Potential" - does not mean he's been indicted or convicted. There is no 'reading into it' anymore than what was printed in my summary and in the link itself.
Geeez , get a grip man.
