Fake news and its effect on the community

[moXJO]

The soon to be problem is that video will be easily edited on the cheap by the masses. Inserting whoever you want to do whatever you want.
Nothing will be believable soon. We already have tons of staged stuff.

Would I lie to you honey ?
Could Sarah Abdallah be feeding us BS on the gas attacks in Syria ? And if so who is she ?

As the investigation continues into another alleged chemical attack in Syria, one group of influential online activists is busy spreading their version of events.

Inspectors from the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) are attempting to access the previously rebel-held town of Douma, where medical organisations and rescue workers say President Bashar al-Assad's forces dropped bombs filled with toxic chemicals in an attack on 7 April, killing more than 40 people.

The Syrian government and its key ally, Russia, say the incident was staged. But the US, UK and France - who support the opposition to Mr Assad - say they are confident that chlorine and possibly a nerve agent were used.

Despite the uncertainty about what happened in Douma, a cluster of influential social media activists is certain that it knows what occurred on 7 April.

They've seized on a theory being floated by Russian officials and state-owned media outlets that the attacks were "staged" or were a "false flag" operation, carried out by jihadist groups or spies in order to put the blame on the Assad government and provide a justification for Western intervention.

The group includes activists and people who call themselves "independent journalists", and several have Twitter followings reaching into the tens or hundreds of thousands.

When are people going to get the idea that Twitter/Facebook is crap ?

The mainstream media aren't angels but at least they can be sued or fined if they print bullshite.

There is an interesting development across the pond where the police commissioner came out and flatly stated that the Prime Ministers partner has never been subject to any investigation or any sort. Full stop. End of story.

Why did he have to dothis ? Apparently there is some pond life around that is methodically spreading lies and rumours about Clarke Gayford (The PM's partner) to destry the PM.

What sort of scum ? Check out the website below. Makes me wonder at what stage are people called to account for the appaling xhite they are spreading.

Clarke Gayford: New Zealand police deny PM's partner is under investigation
Highly unusual move follows months of increasingly vicious innuendo and untrue allegations on rightwing blogs about Jacinda Ardern’s partner

New Zealand police have taken the highly unusual step of issuing a public statement clearing the prime minister Jacinda Ardern’s partner of any wrongdoing after months of malicious rumours about his personal life.

Since Ardern took office in October, her partner Clarke Gayford, a television fishing presenter, has been subjected to increasingly vicious innuendo and gossip on rightwing blogs, social media and through word of mouth.

On Wednesday, the police commissioner, Mike Bush, issued a press release stating that Gayford is not, nor has never been, subject to a police inquiry.

“While in general we do not respond to enquiries which seek to confirm if individuals are under police investigation, on this occasion we can say that Mr Gayford is not and has not been the subject of any police inquiry, nor has he been charged in relation to any matter,” Bush said.

Well your at least half right Tisme. And after reading some the posionous rubbish you serve up I can see where your taste firmly lies.

Come across any transgender, jewish, paedophile shapeshifters recently ??

1) No such thing as half right.
2) No I haven't seen any trannies of late to have a conversation with; yes I managed to finagle money owed me by an Israeli Jew; unlike you I don't condone/promote pedophiles so no; shapeshifters... that's a no too.

But I have been served another load of bile from a heterophobic, anglophobic wannabe white person who wears rose coloured glasses and a big girl's blouse, just a short while ago in this very thread..... he's eerily like a creeping Jebus.

Have you cleaned up your mirror yet Tizze ? It must have have made an awful mess when it saw the lying, inspid little xurd leering at it this morning.

Tell you what xuckface. Do you want to keep turning this thread into a slime pit or are we quits ..

Your grasp of the English vernacular is truly impressive given the weight of that shoulder chip. Is it something I said?

 

[basilio]

Is it something I said?

Yeah.... I chose to highlight a particularly nasty website that seems to produce an endless array of the most bizzare and nasty tales ever invented. It is one of the sources of the current slag campaign against Clarke Gayford.

Your response .......is to equate The Guardian as equal partners in such behaviour. Super, super trolling Tisme.

The crack I made about "transgender, jewish, paedophile shapeshifters" was a way of crudely simplifying at least part of the content of Media whores.

As I understand it, Clarke has been under intense scrutiny from the main stream press too, albeit hiding behind journalistic troll accounts used solely for the purpose of starting gossip and extracting feedback.

I see the Trump soln as the most effective : go straight to the fight club and deal with them at their own level = twatter.

 

[basilio]

As you understand it... Tisme. And exactly what do you "understand" ? Simply speaking, a number of trolls picking up this revolting garbage and spraying it around to see how much mud can be made to stick ?

And when it gets so ridiculously bad, the Police Commissioner has to step in and categorically state there is absolutely no truth in the smears. Whats the point in that when allegedly sane people can equate the revolting rubbish from MediaWhores with the material from The Guardian and not miss a beat.

And the Trump solution ? Wow ! This is The Liar in Chief. This is worlds greatest fantasist attempting to create a new world based on the Infallible Word of Donald Trump.

Only cowards use social media for denigration, it's much less likely that they will be sued.

Social media really has to have the same standards applied that mainstream media has to operate under.

To which standards are you referring? How often do the published letters, from opinionated tabloid patrons, attract lawsuits?

Were you aware that this forum has had to endure a number of civil lawsuits in recent years?

I have to admit the persistent brain fart abusive, base language delivered here by you know who and his recidivist followers wouldn't fail the litigation test....... up there with the best of twatter.

He who cannot be named, even co opted a couple of mercenary blowin's who didn't so much fail their mission, but realised who the enemy really was....cudos to them for being manly men. I'm fairly sure buggerlugs even created fake account avatars to agree with his own arguments, ....... dadah!

Sophie Mirabella, Geoffery Rush, Alan Jones (defendant).. and others pending I believe.

Not aware of the details, but it's beside the point. This forum is mainstream with the owner identifiable. You can make defamatory comments on facebook with an anonymous handle and FB denies responsibility for them.
