Are you shocked that a conservative site used a photo from 2015 to falsely claim that Black Lives Matter blocked Hurricane Harvey rescue efforts?

Listen, when you have to lie time after time to make your political point, perhaps it's because your politics suck.

Blacks are more prejudice then whites or any other race.
@QuixoticSoul I'm not going to say there are no racist black people, obviously that would be incorrect. But to say we're more racist than people who have had the legal power to lynch whole families without going to jail--or, hey---people who will disown their children for becoming involved with another race---I think that's overstating things.
@Karmalives I'm sorry you experienced that.

@bijouxbroussard thanks .... just hard when I care ... but thank you for caring.

Not shocked. This seems to be common all over now, regardless of side or issue. Remember the sochi olympics hoopla? Thank god we live in the age of google image search.

@QuixoticSoul my post clearly says alternative facts, not alternative fakes. Please learn to read sir

@JennyGa Now you're just talking fake alternatives ma'am.

@QuixoticSoul don't try to be smart with me

No. And it's sad that some people will buy into it instead of doing some research and fact-checking.

@JennyGa You don't have a clue what I watch. You probably even assume I'm a liberal. Spoiler alert: I'm not. Since you assumed I watch certain types of news without knowing anything really, what I said still stands. You don't have a clue what you're talking about and you have such questionable judgment.

@SW-User whoosh
JennyGa · 46-50, F
@SW-User you're an imbecile. I'm clearly joking by using the terms fake news and alternative facts. Chill out

What liberal bs is this
JennyGa · 46-50, F
@MasterLee its more of that fake news that is all over this site
MasterLee · 56-60, M
@JennyGa figures
JennyGa · 46-50, F
Sounds like alternative facts to me.
I'm not shocked by that, tbh. It's not the first time the right has lied outright or edited things as a scare tactic for their sheep. They already know the prejudices, so it's fairly easy. That's "pulling a Breitbart"---so called for the stunt the late Andrew Breitbart pulled in order to frame Shirley Sherrod.

Why would I be shocked?

@eli1601 It does not actually lean far left. But more importantly, they link to the cached version of the original.

@QuixoticSoul Calling it a conservative site is a stretch. In other words, fake news.
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@eli1601 Our land of the free? They're definitely a conservative site. But they have "this is satire" disclaimers. The more interesting part is where this spreads around and other blogs, sites, and people present it as genuine news.

Which is, of course, the point - and part of how the fake news machine operates.
