Stumbled upon this on SBS tele last night, on France24 news.

Very good. Particularly 2 min 40 sec into it about koalas and the bushfires, (yep. fake news) and later on with Greta Thunberg. Goes for 9 mins. Took me a while to find it on Youtube.

That’s easy.

If it comes from ABC, CNN or Reuters then it’s fake.

Thank You

another clue to written material is the fine print at the bottom of the page,
which usually states the source of the so-called News, as it often contains
clues as to the source company funding it, and thus the motivating factors
ie views they’re pushing. “Who stands to benefit?” – Agatha Christie

I’m pretty sure some Roman bloke said that long before Agatha.

Ha, I saw the Greta Thunberg and assumed it was a fake but not an innocent doppelgänger. A lot of military stuff, usually posted by anti-war and opposition movements is fake or should that be wrongly attributed. Stuff that happened in one sphere transplanted to another, given away by vehicles and uniforms.

What a strange group to pick out as being predominantly fake or wrongly attributed.

Morning all

The body bags to aboriginal communities one was a faked post.
The real one appears to be body bags to native communities in Manitoba Canada.

Propaganda …and calling everything else “FAKE NEWS” whether it agrees with
or contradicts it has been an effective tool for control for yonks.

The point is for “THEM” to make us doubtful enough to stop listening altogether.
thus keeping us isolated, off balance and vulnerable to getting blind-sided.
