I give up.

psst... Chiropteran ... the HUD thing IS mostly false.

Uh, you got some evidence?

It's completely true.

Even snopes admits as much when you read the detail on the page

"The total dollar figure noted in the report — roughly $520 billion — is undeniably a very large amount of money (equivalent to approximately 13% of the entire 2015 federal budget). But the OIG report explains that figure was the absolute value of all numeric corrections made to HUD financial records, meaning all numeric adjustments (whether positive or negative) were added to create that aggregate figure."

Oops we posted simultaneously. I just don't know what to say here other than us liberals like to break up big companies but we tend to get stymied by big business Republicans

*wouldn't a different search engine have different results?

*Why would MS add a root kit for an obvious competitor?

*Wouldn't Linux or OSX yield different results?

*Wouldn't a mobile OS yield different results

*Wouldn't someone with a non partisan point of view expose this

*MS & Google have to have dissatisfied employee's how come none have ratted them out?

LOL.

I mean, on the one hand they got things right because they put snopes, cnn, and the onion all in same category. But to call the onion "real news" while legitimate but right-leaning sites are labeled as fake news is just disgusting.

lol is right, A+ for the infographic though.

the first three are fake news and crazy conspiracy sites.
The Onion is news satire, as clearly stated.
MTV is music news.
Buzzfeed is news.
Vogue is fashion news.
Snopes is fact-checking real and fake news.
TMZ is entertainment and gossip news.

your safe space will be ready shortly Guano.

To be fair, the Onion is more reliable than Alex Jones and his friend's tin foil hatted conspiracy sites.

That probably explains why you're so woefully misinformed and pwned with near total consistency on these forums.

Meanwhile, you have yet to show Snopes being significantly wrong on facts.

Your thread has backfired and you just keep going.

Amused, let's face it. And I'm not being funny. I mean no disrespect, but you're a wise and beautiful woman. You're a wise and beautiful woman now, and you've always been a wise and beautiful woman. And the only thing that's going to change is that you're going to be an even bigger wise and beautiful woman. Maybe have some more wise and beautiful woman kids.

One "wise and beautiful woman" too far.

Looks like underoos has a new challenger for the crown of disturbia.
What is it about a certain type of poster and an addiction to gravely voiced YouTube videos and image macros and the assumption that they are a substitute for reasoned debate.

There's a MASSIVE gap between having information and knowing what to do with it.
Reading comprehension may be a growing disaster if this topic is any indication.

Since you guys think it's all fake news, here is some more:

I'm not vouching for the source, could easily just be a joke post.

But if you actually read or listen to CNN, 90% of the time there is an "unknown source", so this isn't far off from that "real news".

Just want to leave this here so I can tell you I told you so if something does happen tonight.

Meaning the $500B figure is used in an effort to deceive. It really is quite meaningless.

then why would you post it? typical Trump speak right there, up is down and left is right.

But if you actually read or listen to CNN, 90% of the time there is an "unknown source", so this isn't far off from that "real news".

all real news agencies use unnamed sources, not "unknown sources", and they have for decades.

you know, words and their meaning do actually matter and you can't just make stupid shit like that up and get away with it.

The whole point is there are so many errors.

How else could you read the headline? Did you read it and think Ben Carson literally found a bag full of $500 billion in cash? I don't see how anyone could misunderstand the headline.

OP has you all by the short hairs. That 4chan post is REAL news, you'll all see how foolish you've been when it turns out OP has such amazing intelligence gathering techniques using 4chan he actually knows when WWIII will start. You should all be so lucky to be forewarned of the next inevitable american war. Thank you again for your service, OP.

Just like the other thread, OP is incapable of inferring context or understanding the words on his monitor. He also seems to have made himself look like a complete fucking idiot linking a 15 y/o teen from 4chan as his credible source. Typical.
