The US government is officially a laughing stock.

No. that's just silly. But I have found loads of great info on the internet. It's a tool and people have no excuse for gnorance anymore seeing as we all have direct access to all the info in the world at our finger tips now.

Loads of bad info, you mean. Try fact checking and looking into the so called "experts" that are actually usually fringe nuts with no real credentials.

Truther nonsense is debunked. And no, Paul isn't dead.

Ask people what reliable sources are on subjects, real publications that get reviewed by thousands of scientists.

How do you know this really great info is factual?

Check a story for veracity? Oh, I do wish more would. The run of propaganda, false stories, fake news, false conspiracy theories, I believe, are funded by wealthy right wingers who are a threat to democracy. It's not even a secret conspiracy. Right wing radio is completely paid for by advertising. Those late night and early morning hours are filled with ads that can't be worth what the sponsors pay. Completely open, legal and still a threat to the health of this country. You Berners have been completely taken in by bad and fake news promulgated through Facebook. Take more responsibility for your own beliefs. Please do.

Of special importance to Berners is the suggestion # 6: Check your biases.

from: http://www.factcheck.org/2016/11/how-to-spot-fake-news/

it’s easy to figure out what’s real and what’s imaginary if you’re armed with some critical thinking and fact-checking tools of the trade.

Consider the source. In recent months, we’ve fact-checked fake news from abcnews.com.co (not the actual URL for ABC News), WTOE 5 News (whose “about” page says it’s “a fantasy news website”), and the Boston Tribune (whose “contact us” page lists only a gmail address).
Read beyond the headline. If a provocative headline drew your attention, read a little further before you decide to pass along the shocking information.
Check the author. Another tell-tale sign of a fake story is often the byline.
What’s the support? Many times these bogus stories will cite official — or official-sounding — sources, but once you look into it, the source doesn’t back up the claim.
Check the date. Some false stories aren’t completely fake, but rather distortions of real events.
Is this some kind of joke? Remember, there is such thing as satire.
Check your biases. We know this is difficult. Confirmation bias leads people to put more stock in information that confirms their beliefs and discount information that doesn’t.
Consult the experts. We know you’re busy, and some of this debunking takes time. But we get paid to do this kind of work. Between FactCheck.org, Snopes.com, the Washington PostFact Checker and PolitiFact.com, it’s likely at least one has already fact-checked the latest viral claim to pop up in your news feed.

lol watch in the next few days how the FCC lied about ddos attacks in may ( they ran bots to do it to themselves) . Good thing I found some real news on the internet and didn't believe what the fake mainsteam media reported about them.

Sorry I did not make a more engaging thread by posting some sort of link. What can one do, post 400 of them?

I'm tired. I'm worn out. The fact that the country has not marched on Mar A Lago en masse is shocking. I suppose we respect the electoral process too much. That won't last many more years at this rate.

Funny how this sentiment makes more and more sense and people like to hear it, but when I say "revolution", people cringe. I'm not criticizing you, it's a good point you make, I'm just saying that I have been talking about it for a long time and people act like it is absurd.

Oh tange I love how you follow me around like some kind of a hate demon. I'll never stoop down to your level of creating negativity just for the sake of being a troll. Maybe something in your life needs improving. I think really all you need is some love. You've probably been hurt before so that's why you are building up these walls out of hate. But maybe you're insulating yourself from positivity because it is hard for you to thrive alongside positive people. I know that you can do better .
