As vile as it is, it is very topical bc of the facebook fake news (Russian ?) manipulation of the us election that Zuckerberg has conceded this week played a part in a distorted result.

It's no different to the mainstream media pushing one party's barrow. If you're only reporting part of the news you're contributing to fake news.

We have come to expect that when you jump onto google news or facebook to read a news article that it is based on fact and not made up solely to sway the political process. This has to change so that the end user can be informed if the source can be trusted.

Agreed.

Also the use of your data not just to send ads to your profile but to target swing voters with bullshit.

Btw this fake news thing happens here and I cannot believe that nothing happened to labor party aftet their 11th hour txt messages which purported to be from medicare saying that the libs intended to proceed with privatization. Nothing.

People are happy with lies that serve what they think to be the greater good. 'The Russians' have been used to justify all sorts of dishonesty in the name of fighting the 'good fight'.

Well I think that if you buy the National Enquirer or watch FoxNews in the US, you pretty much know what you are getting. LIkewise, if you read the Australian or SMH here, you know who leans to the left or the right.

But the fake news that was being circulated during the election was delivered from a seemingly trustworthy source, yet it had sinister intentions.

I was talking about the media that purports to be mainstream. You know, the whole truth-leans-left brigade?

Did I say that?

Simply pointing out that a majority left-leaning mainstream media is a fallacy.

How does the example of News Corporation debunk a left wing MSM? They are one organisation.

The "right" are so obsessed with the "left".

It shits them to no end that "leftest" views always become centrist mainstream thinking and accepted public policy over time and erode what they think were good old days. They brand it as social and moral decline yet ignore the fact that quality of life is improving for all mankind.

Sold! After all, eels supporters shouldn't be allowed near real knives, especially on game day.

I don't know. I flashed my dodgy rubber Eels key ring that came with a coffee mug I got for Xmas one year and got a free can of raspberry sour beer that was god awful. If that is your idea of a good discount then yes, yes you do. My last purchase (7 beers) amounted to $50 and I got charged $45. Have a chat with him and be friendly and he'll look after you.

If you wait a while he'll be opening a new store in Penrith. They will give the 5 finger discount there.
