Fake news is everywhere- ABC, SBS, mainstream media.

I rate most of them about 70% accurate. If you look closely enough, you can see it.

Please, don't rope the ABC and SBS in with corporate media.

Sure, even the ABC and SBS may very rarely pick up a story that later turns out to be fake, but I think it's a stretch to put them in this category.

Should be called "biased news" or 'news with an agenda"

I think we're talking about different levels of fakery. Channel 9 doesn't have an overall political push to it. It pushes it's presenters and covers up for their indiscretions. They pushe products that have a financial gain for them. I reckon that's just the way corporate media goes. On the other end of the spectrum are sites like FOX or Brietbart or Infowars. They're hardly news sites. I find them deceptive, manipulative and cynical.

True. Do you think the ABC has an agenda?

I don't know why all of a sudden we're talking about so-called "fake news".

There's always been "fake news".

It used to be called public relations.

Before that it was known as propaganda.

The reasons for going to war on Iraq was fake news. We got fake news rammed down our throats for months and it led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people.

Today, we get upset because Trump gets accused of seeing a hooker.

Wow big deal.

As any other pyramid shame, Bitcoin works only well / benefit for people that started it.
Tell me now that Elon Musk Tesla business do not remind typical pyramid scheme.I could not imagine how he could even survive if every other car company start manufacturing their own electric cars.Anyway, ElonCoins or MuskCoins could be the way to grab few billion dollars from naive investors.

Then he could grab all that money and escape on his Martian hideout. Nobody could get him there, that for sure.

I saw that Elon Musk headline and followed it to the Bitcoin Code website. It started to smell in the first couple of sentences of reading. Very clever though, using his name and getting inserted into google ads in the reasonably 'legit' (YMMV) news source I was reading. Great example of fake news.
