Meanwhile this OP-ED at the time of this post is the headline on CNN.com.

I'm really trying to understand what your point is.  I don't feel like I doubt either article, and I feel like I understand both of them.

My point is regarding the topic of this thread.  Fake news.  The first link was an illustration of how the "news" channels don't report the facts and inject bias into a "news" story.  The second link illustrates how a MSM "news" website has an opinion piece as their "headline" posing as news.

Contrary to what some of the liberals here think, I happen to be a "news junkie" and look at news from a variety of sources and come up with my own conclusions.  I do scan The Drudge Report, FOX News, CNN, The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal every day.  During my day at my desk I listen to/watch FOX Business and every now-and-then I might flip over to MSNBC to see what they are "reporting" or featuring.

The bottom line is that I gather information from both sides and do my own research rather than spew talking points from one side or the other.
