Mother Jones - Comments for "MSNBC Reports Really, Really Fake News"

If Al Sharpton actually believes the things he writes then he is simply a Neanderthal.

This is not a racial issue. Black or White, get caught dog fighting you are soon to be crushed..

If riots break out at sentencing then Sahrlpton should be jaied for un-American activities.

Wake up people.

I wonder how they would
classify Fox News, that
claims to be "fair and
balanced".

This is completely excellent.

Call it a hunch, but I think me and that guy are on the same level. If I were working for MSNBC I'd have done the same thing. Not for any journalistic 'integrity' compromised by sensationalism and incompetence, more as a disgruntled sabotage of a crappy, over-hyped, sensationalizing cable monster run by sleazeballs --kind of like the guy who kept drawing penises into Disney cartoons. You know, on purpose.

Oh, boy. Here we go...

If one weren't familiar with TV or print media--you know, like an aborigine, or an alien, or a six year-old--then it would be understandable if they were baffled and terrified to see the satirical news of SNL (that's Saturday Night Life, geezers) or The Onion.
Go ahead, settle in to your chair and prepare to orient yourself with the crazy new world of online satire.
Here's a good primer course for you:
Google: "define:satire"
That ought to set you on your way =)

With all of the websites coming online, with so much growth happening on the Internet the last thing we need is more confusion.

Personally I would not have gotten that News Groper's logo was a spoof, or known the site was a spoof because of certain persons sharing the site. I never look at the title bar so I would have missed the clue there as well.

If a news organization missed that it was a fake then how many others miss that point as well? Even if it's one person that's too many. Misinformation even in a satirical situation should never be interpreted as true, we got enough problems.

For those who use fake websites all the time they know it's fake. As a way to avoid confusion I would appreciate News Groper making it more obvious that the stories are not true.

Didn't take time to read the article, eh, Donald?

This racist thing is getting to be old hat.

Al Sharpton and J. Jackson are bigots and racist themselves to the extreme

well not to sound like im horribly skeptical and paranoid...but isn't it convenient that this makes *blogging* look like the culprit, and not MSNBC?

when many news shows and celebrities knock blogs quite a bit? (heaven forbid people get their entertainment somewhere other than the TV!)
