    If what Batgoat says is true, shouldn’t RTE,BBC,CNN etc etc all be banned too for spreading the fake Russia gate propaganda?

    Can you give an example of a fake story that RTÉ published in regard to US politics? A link will do.

    Certain users are pretty invested in pretending the Mueller report hasn't put Trump in hot water. RTE has basically only ever reported on the investigation in news items...

    Apparently RTE reporting on a legitimate investigation into accusations of collusion between Donald Trump and Russia is the same thing as spreading 'fake news'.

    Y'know, just like the fake news from Alex Jones saying that murdered children were actually crisis actors. Totally the same thing.

    i get what you were saying in the post. You still didn't challenge the veracity of what I said though. To remind you, i said

    Facebook, Youtube and Twitter were some of the greatest contributors to Trump's win and the Russians attempts to help him. They allowed Trump and his supporters to spread massive amounts of fake news to a massive userbase. .


    Do you believe that is true or false? Simple question. Doesn't need a gif or a long rant about how terrible the left is.

    Kind of like the way RTE portrayed crisis actors as murdered children in Syria.

    And the way they portrayed the head chopping, child raping Islamists as 'rebel' freedom fighters..remember that?

    Or the Italian fake news outlet including footage from films as proof of migrant riots.. Definitely comparable to BBC.

    I know. I suspect that the user saw RTE reports like "A special council has been appointed to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 US election" and assumed that RTE was actually saying "OMG TRUMP GUILTY". Some people have difficulty with comprehension and even others have difficulty with comprehension in their native language.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 290 ✭✭Patty Hearst


    Not RTE but Fintan O'Toole and the Irish Times were fairly blatant in their insinuations that Trump colluded with Russia.

    Eh, that's an opinion piece... It's not remotely comparable to sharing footage from a film as a news story.

    Secondly the findings of the Mueller report is that Congress should consider if the obstruction that Trump engaged in is sufficient grounds to impeach. In addition to that, there's been a fair few more scandals that followed including Mueller's issues with how AG Barr summarised the report. For the most part, the media reported accurately and when entirely wrong, they generally retracted stories.

    So not remotely similar to intentionally false news stories.

    What about the fact that RTE reported on a 'chemical' attack in Douma without much evidence...the same 'Chemical attack' which has now found to have been staged

    The OPCW did conclude that a chemical weapon attack occurred. So really you're the one who's engaging in propaganda... Are you able to provide credible sources rather than some blog. Opcw conclusions below.

    If you read the report you would see that the evidence is based from a leaked OPCW memo....of course you didn't read it though.

    You take your cues from the same sources that claimed Trump colluded with Russia

    Actually, I personally never believed that Trump directly colluded with Russia. Certainly members of his team were heavily involved with Russia.

    But here's the thing. Trump is, and always has been, a loudmouth bragger who frequently says things he shouldn't. He literally just admitted to messing around with his taxes.

    Putin however, is not a stupid man. He'd never directly collude with Trump because it would only end badly.

    Great Upload on the Joe Rogan podcast today where they discussed exactly what I have been saying in this thread.

    It's used by a certain section of people to say "look, this is what liberals all want". If you don't support Trump, conservatism, anti immigration etc you must support this. Where in reality only a tiny percentage of people actually do.

    I only recently listened to both Joe Rogan’s Alex Jones podcasts. Whether he is stone wall mad or just seen a gap in the market, I have to say it was great entertainment.
    Even though I don’t subscribe to the nonsense he was peddling, I was seriously impressed by his ability to recollect and talk in such depth about it all :pac:

    Looks like only certain private companies are free to chose and discriminate as to their customers.

    A Christian dating site was forced to include Gays, if this were applied across all dating platform including islamic ones I could understand it but we all know that will never happen.

    So you're bringing up a news story from 2016 that related to breaches of state law.
    State law requires businesses to offer “full and equal” accommodations and services to people regardless of their sexual orientation.

    https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/jul/1/christianmingle-loses-lawsuit-must-now-include-gay/

    Also Jones and co weren't banned for their political views. It's almost as if you're completely incapable of understanding that being a conspiracy theorist who generates fictional news is not a political position. They are all free to pursue it in court if they do believe laws have been violated and Infowars have the financial resources to do so.

    Now you can find some other old news stories that are completely irrelevant.

    That changes nothing about my point.


    You don't use Joe Rogan videos to demonstrate that you're not a conspiracy theorist.

    Not to go too off-topic here

    The OPCW concluded there was evidence of a chemical attack (chlorine). A separate New York Times investigation detailed significant evidence of a chlorine attack including the delivery method
