Simply because people have a tendency of accepting/believing the outrageous.  Look at all the lies propagandized just within the past two years.  Instead of using common sense and seek truth, people have a tendency of grabbing a hold of what they want to hear, what better fits their thought pattern, not caring if it is the truth or not, just that is supports their belief system.

But the thing is, havent the gen public been fed lies for eons? 

I mean, seriously, fake news is not new. Its just one of those shallow new labels imo.

I see what you are saying however OL.

Falsehoods are not new, but there is a difference between someone innocently getting the facts mixed up and purposely twisting facts to support an idea/ideal.  Just a short 50 years ago, people would be called up for even the slightest error, being corrected and accepting correction.  Today, as the world has gotten much darker, lies are encouraged in order to hide the truth.  Night and day in just 50 years.

I have to take your word on that because you are older than I ?? but also 50 years ago, things that are openly discussed and accepted were not then.

I have seen that even in the past 15-20 years certainly.

Yup, that is the way the world turns.  There is very little common sense today, which is how and why people believe in lies.  The world seems to of become so dumbed down that they need to be spoon fed instead of doing the necessary work to find out if what they hear is true or not.

Common sense, discernment and intuition.....Almost bygones like the dinosaurs....

Common sense, Obama name sounds muslam, he acts muslam, he speaks like a muslam... Why yes he is a muslam. 

Hillary, a liar in the past, a big liar currently, why yes, she's a liar

I turned off the tv for a year, didn't miss it. 

Now I have it but still, haven't missed a thing. 

Buy books and I listen to Christian conservative radio,

I'm preparing for His return, Amen!

You can safely filter out 99% of all news, and the rest of what you receive is (or should be) fully under your control. Furthermore, if you totally block out the mainstream media (MSM), you will be shutting out left-wing propaganda and fake news.

You said you were listening to journalists, so shutting out all journalists would be an excellent start.  

If you have never checked out Rush Limbaugh, you should do so. He has great insight into what is going on in America.

I haven't had a tv for about 5 years now... I do not miss it and probably will never go back to having one.  If I want to know the news, I have a few trusted sources online... I do not trust the major news networks, as they are all elite/cult owned and controlled.

I agree

Rush is about as far right as you can get.  Truth is usually found somewhere toward the middle.

He may be far right but he does not distort the truth.
