We told you the facts minus some of the pertinent information. That's not a lie. It's called selective information. Lmbo. You lied you freaking aholes.Response by SFC Dave Beran made Feb 18 at 2017 12:23 AM2017-02-18T00:23:01-05:002017-02-18T00:23:01-05:00SFC George Sease2351537<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes it is. The fake news is being used to shape someone 'a opinion totally opposite of what the truth is. This is something that we now need to be aware of when we read the "news". Don't always take something at face value.Response by SFC George Sease made Feb 18 at 2017 12:23 AM2017-02-18T00:23:32-05:002017-02-18T00:23:32-05:00SGT Lou Meza2351586<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I think it depends on who's calling it fake news . If the news reported to us is in fact a fact then the one calling it fake news is the one that's lying .Response by SGT Lou Meza made Feb 18 at 2017 12:49 AM2017-02-18T00:49:10-05:002017-02-18T00:49:10-05:00MAJ Bryan Zeski2351599<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Also called, "alternative facts."Response by MAJ Bryan Zeski made Feb 18 at 2017 1:05 AM2017-02-18T01:05:02-05:002017-02-18T01:05:02-05:00LTC Private RallyPoint Member2351728<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Alternate facts.Response by LTC Private RallyPoint Member made Feb 18 at 2017 3:26 AM2017-02-18T03:26:10-05:002017-02-18T03:26:10-05:00Capt Seid Waddell2351755<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes.Response by Capt Seid Waddell made Feb 18 at 2017 4:14 AM2017-02-18T04:14:48-05:002017-02-18T04:14:48-05:00SMSgt Roger Horton2351793<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If its fake its not the truth.

The person believes they are being truthful, but what they are saying is not true.<br />- Omission – leaving out relevant information. Easier and least risky. It doesn’t involve inventing any stories. It is passive deception and less guilt is involved.<br />- Restructuring—distorting the context. Saying something in sarcasm, changing the characters, or the altering the scene.<br />- Denial—refusing to acknowledge a truth. The extent of denial can be quite large—they may be lying only to you just this one time or they may be lying to themselves.<br />- Minimization—reducing the effects of a mistake, a fault, or a judgment call.<br />- Exaggeration—representing as greater, better, more experienced, more successful.<br />- Fabrication—deliberately inventing a false story.Response by MSgt James Mullis made Mar 1 at 2017 11:32 AM2017-03-01T11:32:29-05:002017-03-01T11:32:29-05:002017-02-17T23:36:21-05:00
