I dont even want to click on the links to any of your sketchy websites. Seems more likely to result in a computer virus being launched than in a site I may actually learn something legitimate from.

Does ANYONE else open any of the links that Count provides? If not, can you please just quit spamming this site?

One America News isn't sketchy like some other right wing (and left wing) sources imo.

I sometimes click his links. Sometimes I don't. He doesn't bother me, even when I don't agree with him, which is often....you know he's not always being 100% serious, right? Sometimes it's truth with trolling combined.

I follow the #walkaway movement on Facebook. Very interesting stories and, if that group is any indication, a rapidly-growing cause.

LOL.

1. The fact that you don't recognize One America News as propoganda speaks volumes.

2. And the #walkaway movement was created by Russian bots. It's completely fabricated and intended for gullible simpletons.

Again, not a surprise for guys like Count.

All this does is continue to push people away from moderately left or right leaning news sources staffed mostly by college graduates and journalists to more radically left or right leaning news sources staffed by any clown that can type well enough to post content to a glorified blog.

Progress? No, not really. Just different and with less professional sources. Seems like the blogging and sicial media environments have convinced sone that anyone with an internet connection can be a "journalist".

Correct. It was discovered back in July that the #Walkaway movement was being manipulated by Russian Trolls posing as Dems leaving the party. Monitoring groups discovered swarms of russian troll accounts driving uo their twitter numbers. And as you can see by HouseDivided's comments, thise efforts were successful in convincing some americans that it was a real, growing movement that should be taken seriously.

Like I said, it is easy to see how simple it has been to manipulate a subsection of America. Convince them that they are smarter and more enlightened because of the fake information you feed them and they will spread the word instantly and passionately. Brilliant in its simplicity.

You're really going to try to cast CNN, the New York Times, and their cohorts as "moderate"?

I recognize OAN as propoganda about the same as Fox and CNN.

I didn't say they weren't right leaning (tipping over), I just said that a link to there wouldn't be sketchy like some of the other "news" outlets that have been linked by him.

Good lord. Quick to attack.

Are you seriously going to try to cast them as "radical"? Step back and get some perspective. They are consistently left leaning but not in anything resembing a radical manner. Hence the use of the term "moderate".

So yes.

So, it was just one of those things that you either "know" to be true or somebody "reliable" told you was true. Got it. Pretty much what I suspected anyway.

Yet more evidence that you and I have very different definitions of "moderate".

No. I researched it. But I cannot access this site from my work computer and it is enough of a pain in the butt to include links via my phone that I do not feel like doing it for you.

Do I really live in a country where the majority of the people are so fucking clueless they can't differentiate between factual news, opinionated/biased news, and entertainment?
I guess the bottom line is we shouldn't (and in some cases can't) trust anyone or anything anymore - unless we see it with our own eyes and experience it in person. Wonderful!

OAN has specifically pitched itself as the alternarive for those that do not feel that FoxNews is conservative enough and pro-Trump enough.
