More & More People Are Shouting ‘Fake News’ Over The MSM’s Obsession With Bana Alabed

It appears people are growing increasingly skeptical of the mainstream media’s support for Bana Alabed – the 7-year-old girl whose tweets, supposedly from war-torn Syria, gained her worldwide fame last year.

Earlier today, CNN shared a tweet arguably promoting Bana Alabed’s upcoming memoir.

The article linked in that tweet gives a platform for Bana Alabed’s calls on U.S. President Donald Trump to take action in Syria against the country’s leader, Bashar al-Assad.

A number of people have responded to that tweet slamming CNN for publishing such a glowing report on a girl who has often been referred to as an anti-Assad propaganda tool (more on this later).

“Fake just like you,” commented @abhi_bol.

“No one believes this shit,” declared @Klossykins.

@dbtc1999 wrote, “oh god, your audience is at all time high stupidity.”

“I read her tweets and it is obvious she is being used for propaganda,” wrote @DoctorKropotkin. “It’s not subtle, it’s not clever & like CNN it only works on weak minds.”

As of writing, there are apparently no positive replies to the tweet at all.


Old fashioned blatant propaganda ain't what it used to be. The dinosaur Mainstream Media doesn't seem to be able to change with the times.

Robert won't like this one.

Polls: Public Sides with Trump on ‘Fake News’ Media Bias

According to recent YouGov polling, 70% of Americans “agree that news organizations report stories in a light that’s partial to who owns them.” In addition, while 52% of Democrats agree with this sentiment, a whopping 85% of Republicans do. When YouGov then asked “whether or not one would trust a news source if its track record proved objectivity,” 83% of Democrats said they would compared to 58% Republicans.

“The percentage point difference in the two surveys reveals that the general public sides more with Republicans than it does with Democrats on the topic of media bias,” YouGov noted.

Angered by the legacy media’s “Witch Hunt,” Trump has repeatedly blasted the “very fake” news media for making up stories about him and his administration.

He recently tweeted that the “Fake News Media” has “never been so wrong” or “dirty.” He accused the establishment media of using “phony sources to meet their agenda of hate. Sad!”

Despite years and years of discussions you clearly still haven't the first clue about me if you think I'd be disappointed by the results of that poll.

What's more interesting and somewhat ironic is that Breitbart's spinning the poll as "Public Sides With Trump" is itself "fake news".

And you fell for it.

Yet again.

CNN is no different than clickbait fake news "satire" sites.

That whole thing about 17 intelligence agencies agreeing Russia hacked the U.S. election? Never happened.

NYT Just Quietly Admitted Trump/Russia Hysteria Is Based On A Complete Falsehood

The New York Times has been forced to (finally) retract a popular Democratic talking point that 17 U.S. intelligence agencies agree that Russia conducted cyber attacks on the U.S. during the 2016 election.

As Consortium News reports, The New York Times’ correction came after the outlet, in a report on Monday, mocked President Donald Trump for “still refus[ing] to acknowledge a basic fact agreed upon by 17 American intelligence agencies that he now oversees: Russia orchestrated the attacks, and did it to help him get elected.”

Today, The New York Times removed that portion of the article and stated – way at the bottom of the piece – the following:


Correction: June 29, 2017

A White House Memo article on Monday about President Trump’s deflections and denials about Russia referred incorrectly to the source of an intelligence assessment that said Russia orchestrated hacking attacks during last year’s presidential election. The assessment was made by four intelligence agencies — the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the National Security Agency. The assessment was not approved by all 17 organizations in the American intelligence community.

NYT is fake news, yet another Globalist/Liberal propaganda getting taken to the woodshed by Trump.

He was only 15 years old. CNN attacked and threatened a minor.
