🌀 Help to Create a #FakeMainstreamNews Tag, and a Permanent, unCensored Archive on the Steemit Blockchain!

in #fakemainstreamnews8 years ago (edited)


Since the mainstream is still clinging to this "FakeNews" narrative, while simultaneously censoring research and questions, dissent, and people in all forms of media, let's just make it backfire on them! Because it can easily be demonstrated that they are in fact the main purveyors of false news, let's show and forever record on the Steemit blockchain, any examples of this blatant hypocrisy...


Instead of using the #fakenews tag, which seems to only have 4 posts in it, and doesn't dispel their rhetoric, why don't we try #fakemainstreamnews as the main archive? It's a little more definitive and compelling to my ears...


My first contribution to this new posting category, is a lie from the BBC, aired on Aug. 24 2011. They wished to show that the Western backed "non-democratic regime change," (read; terrorist/violent coup,) and ousting of Libya's then leader, Muammar Qaddafi, had overwhelming support from the people of the country...


The problem with the report is that the video they used which they claimed to be live from the capital city of Tripoli, was actually from a protest occurring in India! As in, half a world away, Indian people, in Indian dress, waving Indian flags, but you know, "Live from Tripoli..." LOL! Me and my dad even emailed them over this lie, with no answer of course... I am not aware of a subsequent retraction... Whether the people actually supported the ouster and killing of Qaddafi is a separate question...


Though the volume is low, here is the 1 min. video...



(This was the only copy of the report that I could find. If you know of a better quality one, or a retraction of the story, I will gladly update this post.)


Here is India's flag.


Here is Libya's flag as it was in 2011. (Has since been changed.)


Please join in and use this #fakemainstreamnews tag to archive any old or new, false stories or outright media lies that you know of out there. If we add simple supporting arguments proving their stories fake, their lies won't last much longer... B"H...

Great initiative! I've been trying to expose the MSM's true hypocritical nature all by myself for so long... I'm happy people are finally getting together in retalliation to their latest attacks on citizen journalism!

Maybe you'll find something of interest in the (non-exhaustive) ''media manipulation'' playlist I made on YouTube:

Thanks for playing your part in getting truth out there. I'm tired of how manipulated people are by the mainstream news. My Steemit blog is also about news that people never get from the mainstream media but that is vitally important to our children and future generations.

I'll have to do some exploring on the weekend...

Thanks for making a difference!

Please reach out to me on steemit.chat. i am fuzzy on there and id love to help with this.

There's also a channel there with some interested in research.

Oh that's Great! I've signed up and am searching you as soon as I find the button^^

Edit: I've sent you a direct message.

Hello there! I am VERY new here but I really like this idea. I find myself using MSM fake news a lot since people tend to lump alternative news with fake for various reasons. Thank you Linda (Coconut) for bringing this to my attention. I need to familiarize myself with this platform quickly. I see there is lots to read and discuss. Thank you again!

Welcome to Steemit and nice to meet you @obsidianblaze! You're welcome to link any posts you make about MSN's #fakemainstreamnews here in this comments section. Dive in!

Got it! Nice to meet you as well. Thanks again. :)

Thanks! I hope we all make it real!

Thanks but really it's their brazenness that is awesome... lol

I just changed a tag on my post, which I wrote 3 days ago. You will see it in your category now. Let's see if your idea catches on!

Fantastic! That's a perfect example! Though I've heard a lot about it, I haven't yet watched VaXXed. I should take the time...

Thanks for your contribution!

That's a lol for sure. I think they make gaffes like this all the time.

That's a huge help! Thanks!
