    Once again, we're the awards handed out to any truthful news?

    Corrections are not what "news organizations are supposed to do" at least not every 10 minutes. That's just insane. When it was super news when Fox News corrected something every once in a while, then suddenly it is "what news organizations are supposed to do" when they are correcting themselves every week all we have is a handful of apologist nonsense.
    Every 10 minutes?

    Link?

    The reality is, corrections have become the norm rather than the exception when Trump is involved. Even when somebody uses hyperbole during a conversation. This is simply another attempt to distract and more apologist nonsense.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

    Again...link? Anything regarding the frequency increasing in some sort of dramatic fashion?

    I guess "every 10 minutes" is out. Let's see if you have anything at all.

    I barely made it past the first few paragraphs.

    I'm saddened you believe that crap. It is as bad as the right shoveling that crap when Obama was president.

    Tell me, what rights have been restricted since Trump took office?

    That isn’t true, there have been 18 corrections in all of the stories run on Trump.

    You are such a duplicates ass. You come on here nearly every day and just insult with zero debate and now you're asking for more.

    I'll give it because I'm not a drunk troll like you. From the posts I've read of hers, she does support the amendments. Why don't you actually back up a claim for once and show where she doesn't.

    We both know own you won't and we both know why.

    I'm sort of ignoring you, because it's clear you're here to troll, and not here for serious discussion.

    But, since you're clamoring for attention on this question, I have explained that multiple times. The list is composed mainly of opinion pieces, and details that were reported inaccurately, for which most of the outlets issued very prompt corrections.

    Do you consider opinion pieces to be "news"? If so, you have a fundamental misunderstanding of what news is, and I can't help you there.

    Do you consider news outlets that aren't 100% accurate to be "fake news"? If so, we have likely never had real news in the history of the planet. So, again, there isn't much I can do for you.

    I have answered your question. Please stop trying to provoke me w/ namecalling, falsehoods and other trollish behavior. It's boring and repetitive, and I am going to endeavor to only engage in those here who actually want to discuss something going forward.

    You did not even start parroting the terms "Fake News" or "Deep State" until Team Trump put out the word to defend the Orange Hog with these words and the partisan premise underlying them.

    Since you had to wait until you received orders from Team Trump about this topic, I have serious doubts as to whether your concerns about "fake news" are based on any long-standing, genuine, principle you would purport to have.

    Were you routinely starting threads about Fake News prior to 18 months ago?
