At the end of 2024, this “news story rating system” caught my attention…

How difficult would it have been to put the CR logo on that asteroid???
There are so many to choose from, this is getting harder as the years go by James. The Clarissa Ward Syria prisoner would certainly be on the list. Particularly because it went from one bullshit story to another bullshit story, a little obvious and boring though. It’s almost as if Clarissa heard about the Dino’s and thought she’d try her luck.
Although not a “fake” news story, and not from 2024, I will take this opportunity to mention Andrew Tate’s inaugural speech for the BRUV party. Hilarious/ridiculous on the face of it, and amongst other things, a perfect example of 5th generation warfare. I expect great things for the 9th annual Dino awards.
I would love to have some suggestions, but I don’t watch da news. NWNW is the closes I get to da news.
How about something old and new at the same time?
Dr. Leana Wen says for bird flu, “we should have learned our lesson from COVID” in testing

Some triggers: positive herds, almost certainly significant under-count, not enough testing, isolated virus of this novel mutation, goes hand in hand with the flue, more testing, a vaccine is touted, not yet authorized…. can’t stand any more of this trash.

Here’s another one. A compilation of talking shitheads gaslighting people about Biden’s dementia.

Ah my favourite time of the year, looking forward to it. I nominate the following news from April 2024 for the Fake News Awards.
Remember this magical cashless Amazon shop, all powered by AI?? Turns out the “AI” checkout was actually powered by 1,000 human video reviewers in India…

It is like getting hit in the butt with a saw blade and trying to determine which tooth hit you first.
For me it is the ongoing mystery of who has been running the country. That in your face behavior that quite literally said/showed a bumbling, lying, pedophile, shell of a man pretending to be in control even in the midst of an obvious coup and now they’re doing as much damage as they can in their final days.
So pick ANY news cycle and there will be plenty of nonsense to represent this.
Our government (control/mind) has become an evil game of competing liars totally out of touch with the truth that they are supposed to be representing the citizens rather then the lobbyists, big everything from pharma to farming. An opportunity to get into positions of power for decades and become very wealthy.

I knew someone would propose the CNN Syrian prisoner joke, and sure enough that’s the first one I notice here. I can’t think of anything in 2024, or in any year, faker than that. My apologies for not coming up with something else to add variety to the awards episode, but among other things I’m lazy and my memory is bad.
