Assad: Torture report part of the 'fake news era'

It will take a few years for the dust to settle, but the false, slanted, biased reporting by the national media in favor of obama and the DNC has really caused some long term problems. Nobody trusts the news anymore, and those of us who are not sheep, look for multiple sources and confirmation on any new story. Even a shit bag like Assad can challenge the news and have some credibility in doing so. He is a shit bag and the people reporting on him are liars, so who do you believe? In this case the media got it right, but that is almost a rare event now.
I read George Orweil's cassic 1984 as a kid. When I read it, it was fiction, now it looks a lot more like prophesy, with the exception that he expected the gov to directly control the media as if they were employees. What really happened is that the media created its own form of censorship by not covering parts of the news, and they lied or slanted the real news so severely that they misrepresented the facts in many other cases.
The interesting part is that the media has been exposed. I have no idea how a solution will come about, but the media has made itself nearly irrelevant.

Controlling Mass Media, is the first of progressive leftist doctrine, as you well know.

Assad the most trustworthy sole on earth! This from the person who slaughtered men women and children relentlessly for months because the were terrorist.
