If all which you have issue with is the author not being clear on the date, but everything did happen as described, it is not fake news.

I'm going to present a little bit of "fake news". I'm going to be vague on dates and events that transpired relating to what I'm talking about. I'll then put it in a format that presents it as being relevant for today. Let me know if you'd say it's "fake news"...

"Dictator threatens the World."

The new German chancellor has started a campaign to strengthen his authority over the press and the police in Germany. The Chancellor warns that the world is against German advancement and stability. The Chancellor has threatened Britain, Poland, and France with regards to strategic military grievances. The German Chancellor even speaks of asserting German hegemony in Europe, and throughout the world.

How President Trump will deal with threats such as these, we do not know. We do know that President Trump felt insulted, and even slighted by the German Chancellor when he visited Germany. And with the German Chancellor showing to be one of the strongest voices in Europe today, this could be bad for America. However, we pray that he keeps a cool head, and strong conviction, if confronted with growing threats such as these. America must stand firmly behind our President in such times of trial and uncertainty.

You'll note that while what I wrote might be able to be tied to factual events. The way I've written it could give the wrong impression to those who are uninformed.

Sorry, but that doesn't work because you literally made up something which did not happen. Your story is fake news. The other story did not make up events or circumstances but yours did.

Again, and this shouldn't be difficult...the story was true, the events actually happened with/to the people named in the story.

Your analogy is dumb, sorry. Hitler and Trump. Surely you can come up with a better analogy.

But ask yourself why was this article presented this way?

Why was this TRUE INFORMATION misrepresented?

What about the timing?

So you're bothered by past actions reported and responded to as occurring recently when they didnt to be used as ammunituon for one side or the other?

Each did happen... in different contexts... and they were separated by well over 50 years. lol

But how you wrote it is fake news. smh

The author of the story did not take two different events and mesh them together to create a fake story as you did. All he did was leave out, for whatever reason, that this ONE, true event happened in 2015.

Ah, so he distorted the average reader's perception of the timing of events as presented. Which was what my fake news was obviously designed to do.

Again, you took two completely separate stories, from two completely separate times and tried claiming it was one event.

Your analogy failed. It's the real fake news. The original story of this thread is not.

Good day.

The author wrote it back in 2015, I think it was. JD's link is to a copy-pasted 2017 mirror of the original article.

It's a little more subtler than that.

The writer is being purposefully deceptive-- especially with the way she ended the article. It was as if she wanted us to think that the end of the trial had not happened and that the perps had not been convicted.

Throughout the article, she is purposefully vague with timeline details, but very detailed with other key facts. The article is designed and purposefully written to be provocative.
