WE WATCH YOU SPREAD IT LIKE MANURE EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY DAY ABC! Really? ABCDivides

Seriously, where are the left wing fact checkers!!!!!

This is why ABC and MSM continue to be called FakeNews and Enemy of the People. You post a ridiculous story with a misleading headline, while ABC and other MSM reported fake stories like the Covington High School Kids, Jussie Smollett, the Russia hoax, the Turkish bomings, etc.

As if the MSM isn't ran by the left... GTFOoH

In other news... An independent study found that ABC News, BBC, NPR, & CNN were among the top most accurate news networks. At the bottom: Fox News (22%) & Breitbart (27%). To clarify, The Onion (Satire News) has a rating of 30%. The Onion is more accurate than Fox News! 🤣🤣

The irony is that the American media does the same thing without “making slight changes”. They sow discord by printing inflammatory stories meant to divide the American public and sell newspapers (or clicks)

Terrible for polarization. Now do the MSM!

Uninformed people are prey for these spin doctors

Take trumps phone. Require gop to provide certified proof. 75% of the problem solved.
