No witty retort on this one from Wishy or T, huh?

Here's some more information I found from a website I've never heard of before (before you go claiming that I'm siting more fake news if you've heard of it).

I'll link the full article below, but here are some of the highlights:

Quote:
Contrary to the claim that conservatives are sharing the most fake news, the study proves nothing other than finding conservatives tend to share conservative media online.

...

The sweeping claim that Trump supporters circulate more fake news than "all other political audience groups combined" was based on analysis of three months of tweets.

...

The analysis does not include any reference to what websites are actually on the "junk news" list... The list was not derived from "across the political spectrum," but full of mainstream conservative news and commentary sites, with no mainstream sites from the left.

...

Just 6 out of 91 sources of the "junk news" list are left-wing websites, and none are easily recognizable.

The six left-wing websites include: BipartisanReport.com, CrooksAndLiars.com, DeepStateNation.com, OccupyDemocrats.com, ShareBlue.com, and DailyNewsBin.com, which no longer exists. The site became the Palmer Report, a liberal blog.

...

There are 70 right-wing websites, with varying degrees of views on the spectrum. Many are marginal, and some publish unverified stories, such as PuppetStringNews.com. Numerous sites on the "junk news" list are, however, mainstream conservative outlets that are widely read and shared.

The Drudge Report—a news site that receives more than 2 million unique visitors daily—is "junk news," according to Oxford. So are Breitbart and the Daily Caller, which are also among the top 100 visited media publications.

Also listed as "junk news" are popular conservative outlets Campus Reform, CNSNews.com, Fox News personality Sean Hannity's official website, Hot Air, NewsBusters, Red State, and the Federalist, which features mostly commentary.

I'm the last person here who's going to say that FOX News is any less fake than CNN or MSNBC, but when a study like this is done it needs to be unbiased. When only 6 of 91 sites used in the study are left-wing websites, and none of them are names most people have ever even heard of, but you have a prominent FOX News personality in there like Hannity and don't include Maddow and/or Olbermann, this is clearly a $200,000, taxpayer funded, 6 page propaganda report that even says in the fine print that the findings, opinions, conclusions or recommendations are not to be considered those of anybody but the 6 individuals who wrote it.

ALSO OF NOTE:

Not only have I not been able to find any evidence of Vidya Narayanan, Vlad Barash, John Kelly, Bence Kollanyi, Lisa-Maria Neudert or Philip N. Howard correcting the record and pointing this fine-print disclaimer in their study when all the left-wing outlets sourcing it are touting the name of Oxford University in the titles of their articles, but they seem to embrace it.

Add to that the fact that Oxford University itself has yet to use their Get Out Of Jail Free card to recuse themselves of this situation to avoid any potential fallout.

My advice to Oxford is to do so promptly. If this "study" gets much more mainstream attention and gets knocked down for the partisan propagandized hit-piece it actually is, it is going to be embarrassing to the good name of Oxford institution.

Here's the link to the article about the study:

but little talk of a....'conspiracy'

for example

A leftwing Londonistan wants the media of the USA to be more like Londonistan?

David Kelly murder?

they may even do a 'fictional' tv show story on this Mark Strong to Star in Fox Espionage tv series Thriller ‘Deep State’?

Art imitating life imitating art

Barry Levinson did a 'Wag the Dog' movie in the 1990s?

so where are we now on media...
and ....so here is the US Left? taking advice from a Nation that prides itself on censorship and Londonistan Cops chasing down and jailing people for criticizing Arab moslem terrorists on facebook and jailing people for anti-Islam tweets?

England, Britain...freaked out blamed music and VHS videos for violence, banned video games, looking back at Britain's Moral Panic Over Slasher Flicks and Horror movies like Evil Dead....banned the Spider-Man movie director's movies...Irish traditional folk music was banned seen as too rebel and terroristic, music was banned for being to sexy violent or vulgar, the Sex Pistol punk rocker guy who spoke against a globalist pedophile was banned had media cut deleted censored, Battleship Potemkin was banned as socialist communist propaganda...its not its just a great movie the British elite hated...Japanese historical drama horror film Onibaba banned as well as Chinese kungfu movies and Japan samurai films, the State media BBC has banned songs Frank Sinatra, the Beatles, Ken Dodd, Elvis Presley, Bing Crosby, the Sex Pistols were almost totally banned, Queen's "Killer Queen" and the Boomtown Rats' "I Don't Like Mondays"...after the former dead Prime Minister Baroness Thatcher died the BBC did their best to ban the song from reaching number one.....to combat the bans on movies and music and other media, for example 1990s and 1980s Horror fans set up clubs, wrote fanzines, and traded tapes at film fairs and in classified ads, they traded media within their own community, these third- or fourth-generation copies of tapes smuggled in from the Continent

none of the bans worked

and for some reason... even though the BBC and other international media parrots the same globalist propaganda about bombing Libya, or Iraq having weapons of mass destruction...perpetual war for the military industrial complex in Vietnam and other places....and somehow the Neo-Liberal or Regressive Left feels the USA must take advice and follow these Euro British and other jackass globalist nitwits

I don't see Oxford disclaiming his publications.

I suspect the Brits have a different take on fake news than we
here in USA. Maybe the story is amusing to them instead of
offensive. Perhaps they'll sell a few more papers before using
the Get Out Of Jail Free card.

... oooOO}{OOooo ...

That's a very interesting take on it, Oonj. I like it. Glad to see you're back. Hope you weren't ill or anything and whatever gave you a vacation from here was pleasant.

It is a kind of "The Sun revolves around us" mentality to think that everything is about the US, innit.

Oxford might consider it a joke, but the 6 people who wrote it surely didn't. You can check all of their Twitter feeds about it. They're dead serious. If I was heading Oxford right now, I would have already made a statement emphasizing that the views in the study do not reflect the views of Oxford University.

It will be interesting to see how far this goes, or if it just dies out like most things do.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

I don't haveta do ANYTHING. Just sit back and watch your ilk do the frothy circlejerk dance to try and defend what you know is true.

Every Rethug I've ever met is gullible to the extreme. Oxford just had the balls to print it.

Obviously we're straining your ability to read again, Princess.

Oonj didn't seem to have any problems with any of my logic, and aside from you coming in here to throw yet another baseless insult my way, neither has anybody else had anything further to say on the issue either.

It wasn't an Oxford endorsed study. If you actually read the study yourself instead of just regurgitating your propaganda, you would have known that.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Really, I expect better from you.

He doesn't even know what atavistic means. Wait for him to google it

And it IS highly likely we are related to all those legends. I'm sure every one had hypertrichosis, which makes them people. Hell, my dad was hairy enough to qualify...mom had to shave him before we went to a beach

The Oxford report is itself fake news. Having the balls to print fake news isn't all that admirable. In fact, it's lazy and simplistic. Just as those on the Left who hold to their dear propaganda.

Fake news published in the U.S. was overwhelmingly consumed and shared by right-wing social media users, a new study from the University of Oxford has revealed.

Research from Oxford's "computational propaganda project" investigated into the sources of "junk news" shared in the three months leading up to President Donald Trump's first State of the Union address last month.

On Facebook, they found that "extreme hard-right" conservatives shared more fake news stories than all other political groups combined, while on Twitter, Trump supporters consumed the most fake news.

Could it be that they are low IQ gullible people that can't reason for themselves?

Hmmm.

http://lolzonline-media-dd4suwdahre7.netdna-ssl.com/image/hmmm_1.jpeg]

All the fake news talking points posted here by the trolls is proof of that. They're easy to spot. Anything going on in the mainstream including the FBI, Intel agencies, justice department and judicial system is fake. Rappy says an Oxford study is fake news. Can you imagine?

And to them all I say...

Tick tock
