Relax, This Is OFFICIAL Fake News

WE HAVE HEARD QUITE A BIT ABOUT FAKE NEWS FROM THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION AND FROM REPUBLICANS WHENEVER THERE IS
ANYONE IN THE MEDIA WHO HAS THE AUDACITY TO CRITICIZE ANYTHING
THEY ARE DOING.
IT'S INTERESTING THAT FAKE NEWS IS USUALLY A
CRITICISM COMING FROM THE RIGHT WING WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE FACT
THAT THE GOVERNORS ASSOCIATION, THE REPUBLICAN GOVERNORS
ASSOCIATION, TOOK OUT A MEDIA ORGANIZATION ONLINE WITHOUT
DISCLOSING THAT THEY WERE THE INDIVIDUALS BEHIND IT.
THEY
STARTED PUBLISHING UNDER A PUBLICATION THAT IS 100%
REPUBLICAN PROPAGANDA, IT'S RUN BY THE REPUBLICAN GOVERNORS
ASSOCIATION, BUT THEY DIDN'T DISCLOSE THAT TO ANY OF THE
READERS UNTIL THE ASSOCIATED PRESS INVESTIGATED IT AND FOUND
OUT ABOUT IT.
LET ME GIVE YOU SOME EXAMPLES OF THAT --
THE NAME OF THE PUBLICATION IS NOT IN FRONT OF ME AT THE MOMENT
--
IT'S THE FREE TELEGRAPH.
THE NAME OF THE PUBLICATION IS THE FREE TELEGRAPH, THEY HAVE A
FACEBOOK PAGE, A WEBSITE, AND WHAT THEY DO IS THEY GO AHEAD
AND PUBLISH ALL SORTS OF PRO-REPUBLICAN NEWS ARTICLES.
NOW, INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH IT'S NOT JUST DEMOCRATS OR LIBERALS
THAT ARE CRITICIZING THEM FOR THIS, IT'S ALSO REPUBLICANS WHO
SAY, LOOK, YOU HAVE TO DISCLOSE WHAT THE BIAS IS HERE, YOU HAVE
TO DISCLOSE THAT THIS IS PUT FORWARD BY THE GOP GOVERNORS
ASSOCIATION, AND YOU GUYS HAVE FAILED TO DO THAT.
SO THEIR
FACEBOOK PAGE STILL DOES NOT DISCLOSE THAT, BUT AT LEAST AT
THIS POINT THERE WEBSITE DOES.
I'LL GIVE YOU A LITTLE MORE OF
THE SPECIFIC CRITICISM IN JUST A SECOND BUT WHAT DO YOU THINK?
I'M NOT THAT BOTHERED BY IT.
I KNOW RICK TYLER, WHO IS A
REPUBLICAN SPOKESPERSON, HE'S CRITICAL OF IT.
YES.
BUT FOX NEWS IS THE SAME THING, IT'S ESSENTIALLY THE SAME
THING, THEY ARE TELLING YOU A ONE-SIDED STORY ABOUT WHAT IS
GOING ON.
THESE PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO DUPE YOU, IN A WAY,
WHICH IS UNFORTUNATE, BUT I THINK YOU HAVE TO USE YOUR HEAD
A LITTLE BIT WHEN YOU READ THIS STUFF.
I THINK PEOPLE HAVE
BECOME LAZY.
I'M NOT THAT BOTHERED BY IT.
I'M NOT SURPRISED BY IT, I'M NOT THAT BOTHERED BY IT, OF ALL
THE THINGS BOTHERING ME TODAY THIS IS LOW ON THE LIST,
ALTHOUGH I UNDERSTAND IT'S DECEPTIVE AND THERE'S A LOT
ABOUT POLITICS THAT IS TERRIBLY DECEPTIVE.
I'M BOTHERED BY IT, EXTREMELY BOTHERED BY IT, AND I WOULD FEEL
THE SAME WAY IF IT WAS A GROUP OF DEMOCRATS DOING THE SAME
THING.
JOURNALISTICALLY?
YES, BECAUSE IT'S INTENTIONALLY MISLEADING.
WHEN
YOU DON'T DISCLOSE THE ORGANIZATION BEHIND THE
PUBLICATION, AND THE POLITICAL BIASES THAT PLAY A ROLE, YOU DO
A DISSERVICE TO READERS, IT'S PROPAGANDA, AND THAT'S NOT JUST
A CRITICISM COMING FROM ME OR FROM LIBERALS.
AS YOU MENTIONED,
RICK TYLER, A REPUBLICAN COMMUNICATIONS VETERAN, HE HAS
WORKED WITH TED CRUZ AND ALL SORTS OF PEOPLE WE AREN'T FANS
OF, HE SAID IT'S PROPAGANDA FOR SURE EVEN IF THEY HAVE
OBJECTIVE STANDARDS AND ALL THE REPORTING IS 100% ACCURATE.
IF
IT'S COMING FROM A PARTICULAR ORGANIZATION LIKE THE GOP
GOVERNORS ORGANIZATION, THERE IS A POLITICAL SLANT.
WHAT THEY DO
IS PUBLISH ARTICLES THAT ARE VERY POSITIVE TOWARD
REPUBLICANS, VERY POSITIVE TOWARD WHAT'S GOING ON IN TERMS
OF WHAT LAWMAKERS ARE DOING IN TEXAS RIGHT NOW WITH HURRICANE
HARVEY RESPONSE, BUT THEY WON'T DO THE SAME THING WHEN IT
COMES TO DEMOCRATIC GOVERNORS.
RIGHT, BECAUSE THEY ARE THE REPUBLICAN GOVERNORS
ASSOCIATION.
THERE'S A BIT OF INHERENT LAZINESS ON THE PART OF
THE READER THAT DOESN'T -- I GET WHAT YOU WERE SAYING, AND I LOVE
RICK TYLER, I REALLY DO, I THINK HE'S WILDLY SMART, I RESPECT
THAT HE IS CRITICIZING THIS.
I JUST THINK IN THE AGE OF THE
INTERNET, SO MUCH IS UNCHECKED THAT IT FALLS ON THE
VIEWER/READER/LISTENER TO FOLLOW UP ON WHAT IT IS THAT YOU
ARE TAKING IN.
BUT IF IT'S NOT DISCLOSED THAT IT'S COMING FROM THE GOP
GOVERNORS ASSOCIATION, HOW WILL THEY KNOW?
IN FACT, THEY DIDN'T
EVEN TAKE OUT THE URL IN THE NORMAL WAY PEOPLE DO, WHERE YOU
CAN FIND OUT WHO IS BEHIND THE WEBSITE.
FOR INSTANCE, THEY DID
THIS WITH DOMAINS BY PROXY, A COMPANY THAT ALLOWS THE
ORIGINATORS OF THE WEBSITE TO SHIELD THEIR IDENTITIES.
WHY DID
THEY DO THAT?
IT WAS INTENTIONALLY MISLEADING.
SO
EVEN IF YOU ARE UP ON WHAT IS GOING ON WITH FAKE NEWS AND YOU
ARE VERY AWARE OF PROPAGANDA, YOU HAVE TO DO SIGNIFICANT
DIGGING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON BEHIND THE SCENES.
YOU ARE GOING TO WIN THIS ARGUMENT, THERE'S NO QUESTION
ABOUT IT, I'M JUST NOT THAT BOTHERED BY IT.
I THINK IT
HAPPENS ALL THE TIME, IT'S TOO BAD THAT IT DOES, BUT I'M NOT
GOING TO FIGHT VERY HARD AGAINST IT BECAUSE IT STILL IS WHAT YOU
ARE SAYING IT IS.
I'M JUST NOT THAT BOTHERED BY IT.
ALSO JUST SPENDING TIME ON FACEBOOK DURING THE PAST
ELECTION, YEAH, YOU ARE RIGHT, THERE'S A CERTAIN LEVEL OF -- I
DON'T KNOW IF LAZINESS IS THE RIGHT WORD -- BUT A LACK OF
MEDIA LITERACY.
MEDIA LITERACY ISN'T EVEN A THING THAT'S EVER
DISCUSSED.
SO PEOPLE WILL COME ACROSS THE MOST OUTLANDISH
THINGS ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND JUST TAKE IT AT FACE VALUE.
I THINK IT'S LAZINESS BECAUSE I THINK IT GOES BACK TO THE
STORY WE WERE TALKING ABOUT WITH THOSE NINE SENATORS THAT VOX DID
-- THERE IS A LAZINESS ON THE PART OF THESE CENTERS, I AGREE
WITH IT BECAUSE IT'S NOT OBAMACARE.
THAT'S LAZY.
IT'S THE
SAME THING, IF THEY ASKED QUESTIONS AND LOOKED INTO IT AND
STILL BELIEVE IT, THAT'S DIFFERENT.
I BELIEVE TED CRUZ
LOOKS INTO THIS LEGISLATION AND UNDERSTANDS IT AND JUST DESPISES
OBAMACARE AND SOCIALIZED MEDICINE -- THAT'S HIS VIEW,
IT'S WHY I DISAGREE WITH HIM SO MUCH, BUT I DO THINK IT'S
LAZINESS.
AND IT'S PERVASIVE BECAUSE OF HOW MUCH INFORMATION
THERE IS TO TAKE IN.
WE CAN'T POSSIBLY CHECK AT ALL.
SO THIS
IS A LOOPHOLE THESE PEOPLE ARE GOING THROUGH, WE CAN DO THIS
AND NO ONE WILL TAKE US TO TASK FOR IT.
IN THE OLD DAYS THEY
WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET AWAY WITH IT, NOW UNFORTUNATELY
THEY ARE.
