People who are willing to call out bullshit from both sides without bias are way too rare 
Partisan-ism is a disease.

[I just thought it was fucking hilarious you said "Fake news is almost entirely a right wing phenomenon." Considering......... http://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2016/11/23/503146770/npr-finds-the-head-of-a-covert-fake-news-operation-in-the-suburbs
How does that counter my argument? This guy made his money selling bullshit to right wingers who will believe anything that supports their world view. He was trolling them. How ridiculous does a story have to be before some of these trump supporters will actually start to question its legitimacy?
Maybe I went too far in saying almost entirely, but the credulity of the right wing is far worse than the left, I did see quite a lot of Bernie supporters who were willing to believe conspiracy theories at the drop of a hat, but they also seemed more open to having their false beliefs challenged.
You simply do not have the same level of mass disinformation occurring on the left than on the right, whether it be websites, YouTube videos or word of mouth.

Last time I confronted you with a wide variety of proof of electoral fraud in the primaries you just tuned out and made no refutation 
The thing is - fake news for conservatives is aimed at about a 80-100 IQ - fake news for democrats is aimed at about a 90-110 IQ - Bernie Sanders is aimed at a 140 IQ which is what most people under 30 have.

koods said: I know it sounds funny to you, but that's because you are so misinformed by the news you consume. So much of the stuff you read is just flat wrong, and your side gobbles it up.
Remember how Clinton supporters were supposedly busing in paid protesters? Total bullshit. The NYT actually went and talked to the guy who started it. Of course, you won't believe anything the NYT says, so there is no way to counter the false narratives.
How Fake News Goes Viral: A Case Study
Quote:
Eric Tucker, a 35-year-old co-founder of a marketing company in Austin, Tex., had just about 40 Twitter followers. But his recent tweet about paid protesters being bused to demonstrations against President-elect Donald J. Trump fueled a nationwide conspiracy theory — one that Mr. Trump joined in promoting.
Mr. Tucker's post was shared at least 16,000 times on Twitter and more than 350,000 times on Facebook. The problem is that Mr. Tucker got it wrong. There were no such buses packed with paid protesters.
But that didn't matter.
While some fake news is produced purposefully by teenagers in the Balkans or entrepreneurs in the United States seeking to make money from advertising, false information can also arise from misinformed social media posts by regular people that are seized on and spread through a hyperpartisan blogosphere.
coming from the democrat propaganda paper, I'm sure that's just so reliable

My sites were picked up by Trump supporters all the time. I think Trump is in the White House because of me. His followers don’t fact-check anything — they’ll post everything, believe anything. His campaign manager posted my story about a protester getting paid $3,500 as fact. Like, I made that up. I posted a fake ad on Craigslist.
or you were duped by this article, someone wanting their 15 minutes of fame so they're trying to credit themselves with this shit and claiming it's fake, in fact check this out koods...

see, now it's because of me that barack obama won both his elections to the whitehouse
