then perhaps you should work it out then. See, this is the problem.
This IS the problem, yes. Longweekend, blindly accepting one media outlets version of THE TRUTH, disregarding whatever doesnt fit.
You've mastered the art of finger pointing, now it's time to point it back at yourself.
you miss the point. I accept ALL THE MEDIA who are all largely saying the identical thing. Even Fox News - a far right group - is saying similar things.
Exactly how do you conclude that EVERY SINGLE MEDIA OUTLET and ever single print and tv jounralist is in on some conspiracy to hand out fake news? How do you do that and not hear a single person admit to it being fake?
go on... I defy you to answer this question with a sane and thinking response.
Where would you hear someone saying contrary to the media narrative? In the media?
Yeah sure, even if talking heads are some other breed, immune to the propaganda that ropes people like you in, they're not gonna call themselves out. Even if they did know what they're saying is garbage, and had a pang of conscience, their audio is getting cut before they can blurt out a single sentence. But whats more likely is that they belive what they're saying, and that theyre doing gods work, spreading the word about how nasty Trump is - just like you do, for free.
We've been through this longy:

I certainly do have an answer to my own question, it's just that you won't like it.
Put it this way - a fact is something you agree with, from a source hostile to the symbol of your hatred.
Alternative fact - something neutral or positive towards the symbol of your hatred, or from a source you don't like.
Since you cant or wont confirm the absolute truth of a statement, instead relying on various sources of varying degrees of bias, you instead accept as incontrovertible fact the one that more neatly fits with your prejudices.
You accept ALL THE MEDIA, because they fit your prejudice. I accept NONE OF THE MEDIA becasue I recognise bias, and have internalised the fact there is no such thing as a neutral text. They are for outline only - distill the story down to the tiny kernel of truth it contains, and it looks much, much different.
It's been over a week and your brain is still spinning in neutral. I said you didn't have the potential to understand, and I was right again.
