I finally got off my ass and read Don Surber’s Fake News Follies of 2017. This is a follow on book to his previous two books, Trump the Press and Trump the Establishment. The book could have been titled CNN Sucks since a large part of the book is about CNN and their devotion to Fake News. In dishonor of CNN, Jim Acosta is featured on the cover.
2017 started right off with Fakes News when the Fake News Media falsely reported that when Trump moved the bust of Winston Churchill back to the Oval Office (Obungler had removed it when he took office) he removed the bust of Martin Luther King Junior. Fake News! He did no such thing. This was just the start. Things went downhill from there.
Of course, the book isn’t entirely about CNN (Motto: The Most Distrusted Name In Fake News), the rest of the Fake News Networks get their share although no one sinks to the level of CNN.
Surber presents example after example of made up Fake News stories about Donald Trump.
Yannow, I’m old enough to remember when members of the Fake News Media at least tried to pretend that they were objective. Of course those of us with brains realized that was bullshit. All one had to do was compare how they covered Nixon, Reagan, and both Bushes compared to how they covered Kennedy, Johnson, Carter, Clinton, and Obungler. I remember Sam Donaldson yelling at Reagan . He never did that to a Dimocrat president.
Compare how the Fake News Media fellatioed Obumbler to how they treat Trump. They no longer pretend to be objective and their hatred of the president forces them to concoct fake news stories about him and his administration. You think they would have some sort of shame that they are no longer journalists but propagandists. As I have written many times, Goebbels would be proud of our Fake Nes Media.
Surber also goes after the “fact checkers” like Politifact. Yep! They’re fake news as well. Surber has examples. Many examples.
I suggest if you want to catch up on the Fake News Media in 2017 you need to buy this book. I’m sure Surber is busy writing Fake News Follies of 2018.
The nice thing about Fake News Follies of 2017 is it prolly wrote itself.
