The 7 Worst Examples of Fake News From the Mainstream Media

John Hawkins / Townhall Columnist

Have you heard that Hillary Clinton thinks we need to immediately do something about “fake news?”

 

"It is now clear that so-called fake news can have real-world consequences. This is not about politics or partisanship. Lives are at risk — lives of ordinary people just trying to go about their days and do their jobs, contribute to their communities. It is a danger that must be addressed and addressed quickly....It is imperative that leaders in both the private and public sector step up to protect our democracy and innocent lives."

Who would have ever realized that the woman who lied about landing under sniper fire in Bosnia, receiving classified emails on her private server and about a million other things cared so much about honesty?

Of course, in reality, what’s happening is that liberals believe social media contributed to Hillary’s loss in 2016; so there’s a big push to shut down conservative voices on Twitter and Facebook. The excuse they’re using to do that is “fake news.”

It would be easy to wave that all off as pure partisanship, but there is some “there there.” There are straight up fake news websites that specialize in turning out untrue stories for fun and profit. For example, here are some fake news websites run by a liberal who wants to embarrass conservatives.

DISGRACEFUL! Freedom Party’s Geert Wilders convicted of saying there are too many Moroccan Muslims in the Netherlands

GEERT WILDERS, THE DONALD TRUMP OF THE NETHERLANDS, FOR PRIME MINISTER IN 2017.

By: Bare Naked Islam

Breitbart  Freedom Party leader and member of parliament Geert Wilders was found guilty of giving “group insult” and “inciting discrimination” at court this morning, but was acquitted for “incitement to hatred.” Wilders has blasted the court for convicting him, remarking that they have also convicted by-proxy millions of his fellow countrymen as well.

Although the judge did not impose a punishment — legal experts had anticipated a €5,000 fine and a custodial sentence was also possible — the case has left the leader of the Netherlands’ top-polling political party with a criminal record.
