Fake Eco-scare of the Year Award goes to National Geographic for "Heart-Wrenching Video Shows Starving Polar Bear on Iceless Land"

The Award for Fakest Fake Interview to Ever Be Faked goes to CNN for "Bana Alabed's full interview on Syrian attack" (April 5, 2017)

Fake UFO Story of the Year Award goes to The New York Times for "Glowing Auras and ‘Black Money’: The Pentagon’s Mysterious U.F.O. Program"

The Award for Worst Piece of Fake News Propounded by "Independent" Media goes to the thounsands of people on Twitter who retweeted The Neverending Stupid Fake Pentagon GIF!

And the winner of The Fakest Fake News Story of 2017 goes to The Guardian for "How Syria's White Helmets became victims of an online propaganda machine"

Sort:  

It's really sad that the main stream media are nothing more than propaganda outlets and the masses go along with it. I hope 2018 is a year of awakening from this nonsense.

It is sad, but that's what you get when news agencies have to sell ads and keep ratings. I hope sites like dtube will help, because YouTube is censoring by demonatizing. 2018 might be the year of awakening, but who knows where we will be after.

Awesome.
CNN: The Most Busted Name in News

Haha. This is going to be interesting! I’m glad to see they finally are recognizing fake news as it’s own category!

Newq Hates Fake News...

A random thought occurred to me while listening to the polar bear news. I wonder if Coke is in on the polar bear brain washing. The reason I say this is that they made us "love" polar bears by associating them to all the warm wishes and beauty of the Christmas season. After associating polar bears with everything good, any perceived polar bear suffering triggers people emotions. This would explain why people are so easily fooled by this polar bear lie.

BTW...polar bears are not nice and will not give you a coke....

If these are the REAL Fake News Awards, where can we find the FAKE Fake News Awards? ;-)

My favorite was the CNN "interview". I'm surprised that CNN doesn't even bother deleting the YouTube comments. Are the censors on strike? Or maybe they don't even care. The "interviewer" and "interviewee" both get paid for reciting from their prepared scripts, and loyal viewers lap it all up. This is a possible subject for a Mark Dice video.

ha ha ha funny news lol.... (fake award) @corbettreport

Very impressed with the palatial broadcasting studios !! Hey, and I really like the tie !

Haven't reached the end of the report, but surely "PropOrNot" is in there somewhere ? Although, it has been a great resource, helping many find more alt media sites to visit and subscribe to. Somewhat like Facebook's "Fake News" tagging, which backfired so spectacularly.

I find it is very difficult to know what is true or false, media and online sources are all biased, probably a good percentage of news, from any source, any political inclination or government are fake. Everyone should consider this when reading the news from these sources.

When I went to the polar bear post, I got an alert from McAfee that the Russians were hacking me! I'm trying to be funny but my virus ware is spreading FUD. OMG
