Title: Need input on a question -
Post by: rustybayonet on May 21, 2018, 04:23:33 PM
I have been getting quite a few messages from; "Conservative Daily Post" with 'breaking news', on my FB account.  Have been trying to find information about them with very few results, except one that says it 'might' be fake news.  So in keeping with other problems I'm thinking maybe it could be from a media wonk liberal trying to confuse things, -- but we know the liberal side of the spectrum wouldn't do such a dastardly and disingenuous thing such as that. 
Does anyone have any truthful knowledge about them ?   ::thinking:: ::oldman::

It's tough to discern these days, with so much agenda-driven pablum passed off as news. But I just went there and perused, and I didn't see anything overly suspect - at least not anything you wouldn't find on almost any website dedicated to spinning every news article to fit a conservative audience.

I'm really liking Ben Shapiro's Daily Wire these days. LOTS of serious conservative minds in there. Also don't mind Tucker Carlson's Daily Caller. Both credible, in my opinion.

Take it for what it's worth.

Although I'd say why run with Pizzagate when reality is much more disturbing.

Not familiar with that one either...but proof is in the pudding...if they every push something a little odd, might be Freudian slip.

As Ronaldus Magnus was fond of saying - "Trust, but verify".   ::thumbsup::

As for Politicfact...where's the screen captures of alleged fake-newsy?

Sometimes folks linked something from somewhere else who's source is sketchy...can't always tell in some circumstances...

I just gleaned the first four headlines.  My advice:  RUN!

Plenty of credible conservative sites on the web without having to waste your time with this one.

Amen to that.

I get two alleged "National Conservative" supposed publications....national enquirer level crapola.

I like the Daily Wire, Gateway Pundit, & Daily Caller.   I do check the Washington Examiner, and
Breitbart News Network, but I sorta hold my nose when I do.  lol.

I often don't go to indivudual news sources. Instead I read the headlines at some aggregator sites and click if I find something interesting. Usually I can tell what the article is about from the headline.

I skim the daily news feed section at the link below

Be careful with PowerLine, many of us oldtimers here are refugees of their purge and wrath.  They can oftentimes parrot Establishment/RINO/AINO/USCOC dogma, it's why they killed forum format, didn't like being challenged in their thinking and wanted only non-anonymous commenting which has the effect of killing free flow of speech.  They wanted an echo-chamber like Moron.org and Daily Kooks.

For local stuff I used to go to Northern Alliance, not sure if they are around anymore, get enough local garbage as it is when it goes national on my usual sites like IOTW, WRSA, Weaselzippers, Drudge & ZeroHedge.

I like Powerline for the legal analysis and the local material. I am aware of how butt hurt they can get. They still allow comments I think.  BTW Scott Johnson's daughter writes for Politico.

I've found Legal Insurrection and Instapundit more than adequate substitutions for the crying guys who wage civil war against their own supporters while mocking the left for the same.

Yes, they still allow comments but rely on FacePlant to filter them first.

Awesome.  Forecast calls for asshats with a good likelihood of potted plants running mutiple fake identities.

Sounds like Nirvana for those rocket boys.

I'm a huge fan of Legal Insurrection. Today, the lead post by Professor Jacobson is the demonetization of LI by Jeff Bezos' Amazon. The article is a good read about a bullsh*t reason given for immediate termination of LI as an Amazon partner.

There is a war on, people.

Eff'n A- there is!  Has been for some time too!  And the E-GOP has only appeased and capitulated since Reagan left...filling those asshats with the belief that nothing is beyond their reach!

https://legalinsurrection.com/2018/05/amazon-demonitizes-conservative-website-us/

And Amazon only continues to steer harder Left with each passing second...like so many others.  They see 1984 not as a warning but as an instruction manual!

Roots n' all need to be burned.

If you get a chance, try out "The Conservative Tree House".
