Reply #48: The real question is, what are the FALSE stories in alternate media that have impact? [View All]

I mean BIG stories- on par with "WMDs" or "Swifboat Vets"- false stories that hurt the GOP and helped DEMS, in the same way the MSM fake news helps Bush and hurts Liberals.

The issue really isnt bias so much as it it should be fake news vs. real news- biased or not.

Writer cant seem to show us a fake alternate media story that has an even remotely similar effect as do the BIG fake stories the MSM feeds us. To me that is the real issue. Bias is one thing- but is the news FACTUAL?

When people complain about Liberal or alternate media, it is often a complaint against their presentation of "biased" facts (AKA- Reality has a Liberal bias)- most complaints about the MSM actually stem from fake facts or complete and total omission of facts.
