Der Spiegel Suspends Two Senior Editors for Not Catching Fake News | Armstrong Economics

The major influential German news weekly, Der Spiegel, has suspended two of its senior editors following the scandal involving a reporter Claas Relotius admitted faking stories for years. Relotius, who is 33, resigned after admitting that he had made up stories and invented protagonists in more than a dozen articles in the magazine’s print and online editions. Relotius was also named journalist of the year by CNN back in 2014. This has provided another whole dimension to the Fake News issue. Here, instead of institutional bias such as CNN, Fox, New York Times, and the Washington Post, we have an individual just creating news. He managed to get away with it for so long because the readers wanted to believe what he wrote.

This was only after he was outed by the alternative media.

Fake News, Fake Rednecks – Taki’s Magazine – Taki’s Magazine

It’s because independent journalists are the mainstream media’s competition, which is why they remain silent on all this silencing.

This misrepresentation of people in the Midwest is not uncommon. I lived in California for three years back in the 80s. The college kids I worked with, thought we went to rodeos for entertainment. They did not know the difference between Iowa and Ohio. Once you talked past the California state line they were ignorant about Geography. They were still good kids and fun to work with. Most of the ribbing was good natured.

When I lived on the East Coast it wasn’t much better. I chose the Midwest after living on both coasts and have never regretted my decision. I still enjoy a vacation on either coast, but after that, it is time to come home.

Sometimes the coasties forget where the bulk of the food on their tables comes from. Except the great sea food, of course.

Is CNN Creating a Civil War? | Armstrong Economics

COMMENT: From Europe, we are looking at your CNN and it really has become just propaganda and fake news. I was not a fan of Trump, but I have to say, he has done a great job probably better than any world leader. He has revised trade and has turned North Korea while your unemployment is now below 4% at 1960s level and you have a GDP growth of 4% while we have unemployment still in the 60% level among the youth and economic growth is at best 2.4%. It is hard to see why CNN turns everything negative. HD REPLY: It is really becoming blatant. This is one joke image going around, but it clearly demonstrates the point. America’s GDP growth is 4.1%, which is about twice that of Europe. Trump’s hardline threats of tariffs have yielded the first real new fair trade deal with the European Union. North Korea is actually returning the remains of our fallen American soldiers which have made a huge difference to many families. The immigration issue where families were being separated was portrayed as if it was something brand new under Trump. CNN never bothered to report this was a policy that predated Trump and that Obama deported more people than any other president in history. They intentionally ignored the immigration issue under Obama and only used it against Trump demonstrating how corrupt CNN has become acting as only a political propaganda network. The damage CNN is doing to the country and the world is beyond description. My greatest concern is they are fueling a Civil War and what comes AFTER Trump? The people will NOT be satisfied with a career politician any longer. We are witnessing the Trump Revolution around the world and even within the Democrats. Trump should stop the verbal assault on the press and reinstated the Fairness Doctrine and FORCE the press to present both sides and ned this reign of propaganda. However, the owner of CNN, Time Warner, the Chairman and CEO Jeff Bewkes came out and stated PUBLICLY that Trump does not pose a grave threat to free speech, but rather it was the Democrats. Speaking at Business Insider’s Ignitiion, Bewkes made it very clear that the Democratic Party’s commitment to campaign finance reform was a threat to free speech. He pointed out that Hillary Clinton said she would push for a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United, the Supreme Court decision that lifted restrictions on political spending by corporations and interest groups. She wanted to reduce free speech that was being funded against the Democrats.
