Social media users accuse CNN of ‘fake news’ over ‘staged’ London attack protest

If you look at the post you quoted, I put the ACTUAL FOOTAGE from CNN and yet you are still trying to deflect to grammatical errors from an article.......Really??? Think.......

Video is open to interpretation. If CNN really made those statements why not link to a simple PDF document?? The Lonny times didn't do this, in any of the articles you posted. You have one video showing you what you think happens, and you automatically believe it. I've seen this happen way too much with these "shocking claims," people often like to post on the internet and it's usually a very, very, wrong interpretation of events.

This video was made with help from and spread by infowars. Why no outrage about that? As long as your agenda gets heard right? It doesn't matter if it comes from some twitter kid sitting in mommy's basement listening to crackpots.

I love that flat out misinformation is "open to interpretation".

Those videos I posted were actual CNN footage.....

I'm starting to wonder if you are simply trolling or if you had even watched the videos.

Again my issue is hardly with the video. It's the presentation of the video that has me concerned along with how it was spread. You just take it as face value and the point I was making about that, flew over your head. Automatically labeling as misinformation is dishonest. You are not looking at both sides, so stop pretending to be.

It's kind of sickening and disheartening that they actually wish for this type of stuff to be anything more than what it actually is.

They are and have been for some time, desperate to control the flow of information. Which is why they desparage the MSM. Instead of saying "the MSM got it wrong on this story" they try to discredit it all so that people don't trust news and then they can control the information. Fox news preached this nonsense for years and those folks are now expanding it.

Yeah it's happening more and more and I've especially seen an uptick here at DP calling everything in the MSM fake news.

The MSM willfully ignores stories that don't support a liberal agenda. Even when there's no way to avoid reporting on a story, they do a quick hit-and-run, then figure out a way to spin it into the best positive light for liberals.

At the same time, they will make Mount Everest out of every conservative molehill, over and over and over. Journalistic standards be damned. Just run with whatever you have, checked or unchecked.

Beautifully, their gig is up and their influence is waning. People trust the MSM at about 5%. Their monopoly on the message through media and money has been defeated. Trump beat Hillary without a stitch of media fairness and a tiny fraction of her campaign money. Hence, the daily liberal meltdown.

It brings a tear to my eye.

The reason I labeled clip 1 as misinformation was due to the fact that it was in fact misinformation......

The 1994 ban on Assault Weapons did not ban fully automatic weapons as the first clip tried to insinuate.

Labeling misinformation correctly for what it is, is not dishonest. After being ripped by Wayne, CNN did make the correction so kudos to them for that.

There's no rational discussion that can be had with tin foil hat conspiracy theorists.

It means this fabricated Russian-Trump collusion nonsense is the biggest conspiracy going, and you want to talk about conspiracies.

And it's not breaking news that the MSM is just a massive liberal mouthpiece. File that under "duh".

London attack: CNN accused of ?fake news? over ?staged? anti-ISIS protest in viral video



Same protestors at multiple locations, taking direction like a Hollywood set.

CNN doesn't report news. They manufacture and fabricate it as needed for the predetermined agenda they want to shove down your throat.

Social media is becoming their undoing.

I understand their position that they were just moving people already protesting into a better position for the stand up, but this looks really really bad on them
