== Why is RedFlag News listed as a fake news site? == |
|
|
|
|
|
RedFlag News is a news aggregate site that aggregates from both mainstream media sites and "alternative" conservative websites. However, the "alternative" conservative news sites it pulls from all source their content from mainstream media. Aside from one article from a left-wing author (an author whom RedFlag News has aggregated stories from), what evidence is there it is "fake news"? You can visit the website on any day and see stories posted from AP, Reuters, The Washington Post... |

Info Wars is not a fake news site, the citations listed have already been proven to not be fake. Also the Sandy Hook School shooting was not reported on by Info Wars as being a hoax, but he did mention that there are rumors that it was a hoax. All other citations can be proven real.

== Why is this page pro-democrat? == |

It seems like a lot of the listings are republican-based (whether true or not). The sources cited are just basically nonsense cited in the name of citing sources (the source itself is fake). Can we please have an unbiased wiki? There seems to be a lot of Democrats or something trying to use this to push their fake news narrative. I don't see CNN on there even though there are numerous occasions where they blatantly published fake news. What a joke lol. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 00:53, 15 May 2017 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

:Please review our ] and ] policies. All we can do is report what the ] say. If the reliable sources identify more "republican-based" sites as fake news websites than other sites, then that is what our list must reflect. As an aside, there has been plenty of independent reporting on why so many "republican-based" sites have been identified as fake news. --] (]) 18:38, 15 May 2017 (UTC) |

::], are you implying that the ref to adrforum.com is anything other than a primary source, or that the refs to leadstories.com and business2community.com are to "]"? I suggest trimming out the clearly unreliable sources, and then seeing whether there is a republican or democrat bias in what remains. For the record, I am completely apolitical, because I am convinced that the ability of politicians and political parties to deceive us is far superior to our ability to detect deception. In other words, I don't trust any of them. --] (]) 04:39, 16 May 2017 (UTC) |

:::With the last user citing "conspiracy minded, hardcore right-wing", I think it is safe to say that this page is Democrat biased. Heck, the conspiracy minded, hardcore left-wing thinks that Russia hacked the election and that Comey being fired is another Watergate - and fake news outlets like ''The New York Times'', ''Washington Post'', and CNN report the nonsense. If Misplaced Pages relies on them, that makes Misplaced Pages fake news as well. ] (]) 16:39, 16 May 2017 (UTC) |

CNN has repeatedly published fake news, and this has been noted many times by plenty of legitimate sources. |

:This article describes fake news sites as those which "intentionally publish hoaxes and disinformation for purposes other than news satire." All you've shown is that CNN is not inerrant – which could be said about any information source of any kind, ever. ]<sup>(]•])</sup> 12:24, 16 May 2017 (UTC) |

::The first link is a blog entry whose premise is rested upon the assumption that the reader has never heard of things like paraphrasing, reading between the lines, etc. Indeed, CNN regularly accused Trump of advocating for racial profiling (such as ) because Trump, well, advocated for racial profiling. Incendiary headlines != fake news. |
|
|
::The second link just doesn't say what you think it says. It would behoove you to actually read these things. |
|
|
::The third is just laughable. During an interview with a self-proclaimed antisemite (whom ) and white nationalist, a single chyron writer added an overly opinionated statement. The issue is, Spencer is aa ''self-admitted sntisemite and white nationalist''. Whether or not he doubts the personhood of Jews is a very real question, with the best answer right now being "almost certainly". The problem wasn't the claim itself, it was the ''overtly political'' nature of claiming it during a live interview. <span style="text-shadow:grey 0.118em 0.118em 0.118em;">] ]</span> 13:05, 16 May 2017 (UTC) |
