What if someone uncovered a pattern of conservatives spreading lies and presented the evidence to you. How would you react?

The GATEKEEPERS OF HONESTY aren't exactly flooding this thread with their support. Why repeat "Fake News" ad nausuem, but hide under a rock when challenged to support the integrity of fellow conservatives?
The liberals are accusing you of hypocrisy. It's time to stop hiding and set the record straight!

Being accused of hypocrisy by a liberal is like being called smelly by a skunk.

Interesting. Would you agree that being accused of Fake News by a conservative like being called smelly by a skunk?
Re: Are conservatives really the gatekeepers of honesty?
Skunks don't even smell most of the time.

It's not really that conservatives are the gate keepers of honesty, it's more that neo-liberals are such delusional, fact-deprived loons that conservatives look good in comparison these days.

The average conservatives main news sources are fox news and alex jones.
The fact that you actually think you're NOT the delusional one is ridiculously laughable.

In the first place, your prejudices about conservatives are yanked right out of your hind end.
In the second place, all the fans of Jones or Fox news would not begin to account for all the conservatives in the country.

Re: Are conservatives really the gatekeepers of honesty?
Not all. Just most.
Literally every single conservative I've EVER spoken to in real life, and I live in a town filled with them, all watch Fox news and swear that it's the most credible source of news.
Fact: Conservatives, for the most part, LOVE fox news.
You probably watch it too.

Re: Are conservatives really the gatekeepers of honesty?
Ever wonder why conservatives dont believe humans are causing global warming, despite widespread agreement among scientists? Or that President Obama was born in America, even though he has produced his birth certificate? One reason could be the right-wing echo chamberthe tendency of conservatives to get the vast majority of their news coverage from Fox News or conservative radio stations, distrust all other news sources, and have mostly like-minded friends.
https://images.newrepublic.com/12f4881b4447b6991f8107afa553e62da9be0a36.png?w=800&q=65&dpi=1&h=502

Today we have new evidence that the tendency is realand is much stronger on the right than left. It comes from a new survey by the Pew Research Center, which surveyed 2,901 people and divided them into five categoriesconsistently liberal, mostly Liberal, mixed, mostly conservative, and consistently conservativebased on 10 questions about their political values. Among consistently conservative respondents, 47 percent chose Fox News as their main source for news about government and politics. The next largest group, 11 percent, chose local radio. Responses among liberals, by contrast, were much more fragmented. Fifteen percent of consistently liberal respondents chose CNN, 13 percent chose NPR, 12 percent chose MSNBC and 10 percent chose the New York Times.
Pew also asked whether the respondents trusted a given news source (or hadnt heard of it). Eighty eight percent of consistently conservative respondents said they trust Fox News, compared with 52 percent of consistent liberals who say they trust MSNBC. In fact, among consistently conservative respondents, only four news sources are trusted by at least half the respondents: Fox News, Hannity, Rush Limbaughs radio and Glenn Becks radio show. For consistently liberal respondents, there are nine: NPR, PBS, BBC, New York Times, NBC News, CNN, ABC News, MSNBC and CBS News.
This echo chamber doesnt just exist among conservative media choices. It also is a feature of their daily lives. Sixty-six percent of consistently conservative respondents say that most of their friends share their views on government and politics. Only 29 percent have close friends with different views..

So generally speaking conservatives get their news from idiots while liberals get their news from all over the place.

You think Saturday Night Live and The Daily Show are news. You need a reality check. Every source you think is giving you news is doing nothing more than spoon feeding you DNC propaganda.

Did Hannity tell you that, or O'reily?
I personally don't watch mainstream "news". Period.
And who the *beep* would cite saturday night live as a news source? Stupidest comment of the day. You should win an award or something.

Re: Are conservatives really the gatekeepers of honesty?
I like how you're using "you lost to trump" almost as an insult.
You're right though. We lost to an idiot. We know. If anything that's the fault of the democratic party for supporting corporate *beep* like Hillary.
As for Tina Fey.. she made Palin (another conservative hero LMAO) almost look intelligent. Sad fact is.. Palin was so stupid she couldn't even properly be parodied. That's WHY people were confusing her idiocy with an actress making fun of her. She was a complete moron.
Thanks for helping prove my point.

Re: Are conservatives really the gatekeepers of honesty?
You have this backwards. I'v been around long enough to have noticed, years ago, that the mainstream media is leftist leaning, anti conservative. So, FOX comes along and is the one little outpost of conservative news. Why the hell wouldn't conservatives listen to it? There is no other place that is not going to raise their blood pressure.
And then when people deny that the other news agencies are leftist, that is so infuriating because it's a bald faced lie. I'm middle of the road, and i can see it. I used to be a liberal, and I could see it then! it's one of the things that has made me go more conservative, because the left is so damn hypocritical. I can't name ONE honestly non biased, moderate news channel. And Please don't say NPR. I like NPR but they are as liberal as you can get.
That leaves only the sometimes stupid FOX to listen to. But, it's still not as stupid as the liars on the other channels. The ones who won't even ADMIT that they are biased.
A simple mind is a tidy mind.

Re: Are conservatives really the gatekeepers of honesty?
We have good reason to mistrust most mass media. It's easy to spot the bias and the spin. It's not fair and it's not honest. Their reports often begin with a premise that I disagree with and go on from there.
One of the most common these days is saying conservatives are "against immigrant rights." Now, what's wrong with this phrase that most listeners and viewers simply accept as true?
It fails to differentiate between legal and illegal immigrants. Illegal immigrants have no right to be in the US. Legal immigrants may or may not have a right, depending on their status. But the purpose is to plant the idea in our minds that mean old conservatives hate this person who just took their oath of citizenship after obeying all the laws to earn it. It's dishonest and purposeful.
Then they go out and find the most heart-rending example of deportation and play it up to the audience. If they were honest they would describe the group affected by the policy, and not the saddest story.
They have done the same thing with the Muslim illegal migration into Europe, BTW. They love to show the nice little family with the cute kids, but try to avoid talking about all the young Muslim men who arrogantly think they can barge into any country, demand welfare benefits, and then continue their rotten culture of hating any but their own and abusing women.

Re: Are conservatives really the gatekeepers of honesty?
I watch one hour of Fox News per week, Chris Wallace's Sunday morning show. I haven't watched their weeknight shows like Hannity or O'Reilly for many years. We record 5 news shows a night and watch one or two of them. The two most likely are BBC America and PBS Newshour.
You also have to understand that if you want liberal-spin in the news, you can get that from a dozen sources. The only reason Fox News is so sucessful is that it's the only conservative cable news network.

Re: Are conservatives really the gatekeepers of honesty?
That's the network show, not FNC.
I watch it as well - it's the best "hard news" network program on Sunday (if you don't count the "panel" shows like MTP).
So it goes.

Re: Are conservatives really the gatekeepers of honesty?
That's true, but since they call it "Fox News Sunday" I throw it in the FNC basket.
Wallace is not shy about grilling Republicans as hard as he does Democrats. And he gets pissed if any of them try to BS him too much or try to run out the clock on an intervew because they have no good answers.
We watch a lot of MTP Daily and The Lead with Jake Tapper here. Strange that for two conservatives we watch far more CNN andMSNBC than FNC.

Re: Are conservatives really the gatekeepers of honesty?
More laughable than the fact that that you think that I'm conservative, that I've watched Fox news at all in at least the last decade, or that I even know who Alex Jones is?
It's obvious that independent critical thought is a challenge for you, but, wrap your head around this, there are a lot of people out there who understand just how pathetically stupid, hypocritical, and ignorant most mainstream liberals and conservatives are.
Neo-liberals are simply running away with the idiot crown at the moment, that's all.
Keep trying. Perhaps, someday, you'll develop the ability to think for yourself.
Good luck!
Peace.

Re: Are conservatives really the gatekeepers of honesty?
Yes and conservatives\liberals are groups of individuals. The question is regarding a group, not an individual. The scope of the question can involve media, which are a part of said group, politicians, who are also part of said group, or other.
Playing the "individual" card appears to be an attempt to isolate dishonesty away from the established group, perceived or literal but that in itself would be dishonest, as prominent liberal and conservative groups have both been accused of parroting their own lies.
