Come On, Putin. Do It!

You know that the whole "prostitutes pee on Trump" video was made up right? The actual dossier claims that he sat across the room and watched prostitutes pee on the bed that Obama/Michelle slept in.

Fake news from the left is just as bad as fake news from the right.

I wanna see the Russian performance actor they got to play Trump.

Doesn't matter.  The look on his jesus freak supporters would be just as priceless.  You know what fucking hypocritical bastards they are!

Is that judgment based on the same insight that said Hillary is just as bad as trump?

Olbermann: We need to talk about how Trump has ‘the emotional stability of a Kardashian ex-husband’

Hmm . . .

have I ever watched any 'hot guy' or 'manly man' pee?


Nothing springs to mind, but I'm certainly not innocent in regards to water sports.

Tee hee . . . .

No, its based on the fact that any "news" which lies is fucking awful. People on the left and the right are convinced that things which are categorically untrue are in fact reality. That's dangerous.

Trump didn't get pissed on, he's bad enough without having to invent shit.

C'mon, wouldn't you love to see a recording of the Chump motor-boating some gal's labia while she cuts loose?  

TBH, I wouldn't watch that. ANYTHING with the Chump in camera view actually gags me pretty badly.

I don't really care personally what specific acts might have occurred, except insofar as they create a situation where a sitting president might be blackmailed, say by a foreign rival.

Otherwise, I couldn't give half a shit for how he or anyone else gets his jollies, so long as it's consensual.

Can you demonstrate clearly that the magnitude of fake left news is comparable to fake right wing news? What makes you think that is an accurate statement?

Hm, this is a larger topic than I had initially figured.

On a singular basis of any two items in the category of fake news (i.e. In a vacuum), they may be equivalent for "bad".

However, that disregards:

1) Reach - the number of people who could be delivered an impression (they see a link to the fake news item)
2) Click through rate - the rate of people falling for it (i.e. They click on the article and linger on it)
3) secondary action rate - the rate of people who clicked on it (unique visit) who did something about it (sharing, donations, etc,)

For any two pieces of fake news to be comparable for badness, an index of the above would have to be comparable. Fake news that the President believes in is probably worse than fake news Joe the Plumber falls for... until you have too many Joes.

Fuck, I don't think we have a good enough objective basis for weighing fake news by political slant for the damage it does. As I have negative interest in ML and Natural Language parsing, I do not believe I will be able to shed conclusive light on the matter.
