Award winning “journalist” Claas Relotius has been sacked from Der Spiegel and has admitted completely making up articles claiming he felt under pressure to do so. I wonder how much of this goes on. Do you think it’s prevalent? I sometimes think most of the bollocks Shaky copies and pastes must be made up on the spot but I like to give people the benefit of the doubt.
If it is common why have they chucked this guy under the bus? |  |

They know they can rely on gullible fools like shaky to take it as gospel whatever they post.
The gullible then copy and paste it everywhere before we know it people think it's true.
That's why you need to take anything these fools post with a pinch of salt. |  |

People struggle to distinguish between opinion, story and research these days.....and that is a fact! |  |

How much goes on? Well, there's a list of hundreds of dubunked myths and lies spread about the EU, a lot of them by our press. So quite a bit it seems.
You'll never really know though unless you can be bothered to go back to original source material.
I think they should outlaw all this 'an unnamed source' rubbish - that'd help a lot. |  | | |

Whereas anything Trump, Farage and Putin write can of course be taken as gospel. Their sound bites should be repeated ad nauseum Goebbels style. “Take back control” “remoaners” “Frankenstein project” “snowflakes” “make Britain great again”. |  |

Yep. It'd be nice to have all these organisations and media outlets ranked on some kind of bolloxometer too. I know there are fact checking and media bias sites, but then you don't know how biased they are either. It all gets a bit surreal. | | | |
