The mainstream media needs to stop labeling other outlets as “fake news” for distributing false stories when they are guilty of the same practice.
Look no further than Ferguson, Missouri in August 2014 when street thug Michael Brown, high on marijuana, robbed a convenience store and was shot and killed after fighting for officer Darren Wilson’s gun. Despite multiple statements from eyewitnesses to the scene, one little rumor that Brown had his hands up before he was shot was picked up by the liberal media and turned into a 24/7 propaganda machine.
“Hands up, don’t shoot” became the rallying cry for the Black LIES Matter movement and all of it was propagated by MSNBC, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and CNN. They were very effective in convincing half the nation of this blatant lie. Even after the grand jury exonerated Wilson in the shooting death of Brown and proved he never had his hands up in surrender, the MSM never changed its tune and the “Hands up, don’t shoot” myth continues to this day.
This is what “fake news” looks like on CNN when these female anchors turned activists:

What they aren’t interested in are facts, but even if they were confronted with them, they’re too busy hunting down “fake news” to even notice. Our courts have spoken, and Michael Brown never had his hands up.
Still need more convincing?
