  • Fake News.

    Ok....maybe I'll give up. Just picking my fights just gets old after a while. I had a lengthy discussion with a real life friend some time ago on FB about a re-emergence of the Hobby Lobby story regarding their planned closing down of all stores because of the ACA act. I spent a while explaining to her that the SCOTUS ruling was already handed down...in favor of Hobby Lobby... a real huge ruling that went to all media and somehow she had missed it...and that the date of the article on the internet didn't matter because apparently the copyright renewal by the website owner made it look like the story was new (argh)...and I personally had watched the situation develop right up the the SCOTUS. Since then I had corrected a few more frantic but fake news about various subjects... she and others just keep on posting those things.

    I really need to quit, don't I? .

    Naw, just don't be weary in well doing.
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

        Some of the fake news are about the theories of multiple shooters at Vegas...possible IMHO but the news themselves are just that, fake. Nobody understands the Internet DOESN'T hold the truth. 100% of the truth comes out of 1% of 100% of the garbage.

          I have a few face book friends who just share and repost anything. One constantly posts missing kid posts, but he never checks to see if it is an old post or fake. I am constantly telling him "no, they found her. 3 years ago" "no, that never happened" and I have told him to just google it before posting which 90% of the time will tell you that it is old, or fake.

            Yeah! That too! I recall having to tell people for years after Madelyn O'Hara died that no, she did not just do whatever because, OBVIOUSLY, she's dead! And that was pre-internet!

              And then you get the "if you don't repost and share then you don't love me and are not my friend" posts. Or the narcissistic, "Please type amen and like this if you are my friend"

              PS - please amen this post if you are truly my friend or it means you hate me.
