@TexChik I'll take your words with a grain of salt. I'm not going to falsify all claims but you get your news from mostly far right fringe groups. Gateway Pundit in particular is known as a hoax site.
[quote]Fox News issued an unusual on-air apology on Saturday night for having allowed its anchors and guests to repeat the false claim that there are Muslim-only “no-go zones” in European countries like England and France that are not under the control of the state and are ruled according to Shariah law.
The statement was referred to as “a correction” by the Fox Report host Julie Banderas, who said that “over the course of this last week, we have made some regrettable errors on air regarding the Muslim population in Europe, particularly with regard to England and France.”[/quote]

[quote]As debate about how to solve Europe's refugee crisis continues, right-wing groups and commentators are using photos and memes to demonise the desperate people risking their lives to reach the continent.
But many of the photos are being faked, twisted, edited or taken out of context in an effort to support the following myths and arguments.[/quote]
[quote]Several other images claiming to show refugees fighting for Isis wearing assault rifles and fatigues have also been debunked, with at least two of the men shown actually being part of groups fighting the jihadist group, including Kurdish forces and the Free Syrian Army.
Another meme shared by an anti-immigration group in Croatia claims to show another "Islamist" arriving in Europe. But online analysts said his uniform and equipment identified him as an anti-Isis fighter.
While there is a strong possibility that some of the people migrating to Europe may have been involved in armed conflict or linked with extremist groups, the UN has repeatedly dismissed claims that “thousands” of jihadists are arriving.[/quote]

[quote]In the past year or so, Facebook has attempted to employ some measures in its effort to fight fake news, including its third party fact-checking initiative. Though these efforts have thus far been far from effective, the new changes threaten to undercut the measures even more.
At least one study has shown that Facebook users are influenced by their friends and family members’ actions and reactions on the site. Last year, New York magazine reported on a study that found that “people who see an article from a trusted sharer, but one written by an unknown media source, have much more trust in the information than people who see the same article from a reputable media source shared by a person they do not trust.” With Facebook’s new changes, as the Times noted, “If a relative or friend posts a link with an inaccurate news article that is widely commented on, that post will be prominently displayed.”[/quote]
[quote]An additional point of concern is how this will exacerbate the problem of conservative misinformation specifically. Up until now, misinformation and fake news on social media have seemingly come from and been spread more by conservatives than liberals. And according to research conducted by Media Matters, right-wing communities on Facebook are much bigger than left-wing communities and mainstream distribution networks, and right-wing engagement is also bigger than in left-wing circles. These changes then could mean that peer-to-peer promotion of right-wing misinformation will more likely lead to fake news being pushed toward the top of people’s news feed.[/quote]

@SatanBurger Media Matters? 🤣

@katielass I don't know your character or your friends characters. All I know is the research I've done and the evidence of doctored photos and events. They are what I call half truths. Is it true there's extremist Muslims sure. Is it also true that Christians have burned people at the stake for centuries. Also true.
I bet your friends are doing just fine.

@TexChik Calling people libtards makes you come across as a close minded person. It's not a good idea.
If you are really interested in knowing why there are so many terrorists in the world now then I can supply you with plenty of reading from some really intelligent people who have researched the matter properly.
Links don't work here so I suggest you start by reading an online report called "Body count" which was compiled over a period of many years by PSR (physicians for social responsibility). It clearly shows how the mass media under-reports the innocent casualties of war in the American "war on terror" by at least 10 times.
Then you can google a report, which was reluctantly confirmed by the American government, that it takes 3 tons of ammunition to kill each insurgent. This tax payer's money being used for that.
Then you could do a search for reports on how 1 billion dollars worth of American weapons and equipment fell into the hands of terrorists last year. This could not have happened unless the American government wanted it to happen or they are completely incompetent. You decide.
