How politicians troll the media

So it sounds like the fix to this would be to have a news cycle that focuses on actual stories instead of huddling around drama like a bunch of highschoolers.

It's like the media never heard of "The boy who cried wolf". Half of these politicians who are supporting these fake stories have already been exposed as liars.
But because they're congressmen, "well, we gotta give attention to their assertions, because of politics blah importance blah blah."

This is also called "argument inoculation" in social psychology. You introduce an idea to a group, you give them a simple defense of the idea and then they are more resistant to new/conflicting information about the idea even if the idea is clearly false.

The inclusion of Charlie Brown in this video made it 100 times better, loved it! 😊💛

gosh, please don't put high pitch noise in your video.

"What comes to mind when you hear the word 'troll?'"
An unsightly creature of legend living under a bridge in the countryside. Naturally.

There is this saying where I live:「人不要臉，天下無敵。」, translated to English is roughly: "A shameless man in invincible".
Yeah, I felt those vibes in this vid.

Hillary's e-mails are another prime example of trolling the media that had devastating consequences. Remember that whole "New Hillary e-mails on Huma's server, required reopening the FBI case" that turned out to be nothing after all but credibly cost her the election.

It's because the media are gullible and greedy.

am i the only one to hear a rising ring noise at 0:27

The biggest troll is trump himself.

The simple fix would be to hold legislators legally responsible for lying to the american people. If it was a felony to knowingly give false information to news outlets as an elected official I think a bunch of them would be a lot more careful about what sort of conspiracy theories they peddle.

Same things has been happening in India , just replace 'conspiracy' with random outrage from the fringe groups and propaganda of our 'Supreme Leader' being shoved down our throat.

...also known as "Italian elections for dummies "

What do I imagine when I hear the word troll?
It's what grade you get if you fail a test in Harry Potter

I usually critisize too much humour in doc-news, but this guys is funny and informative LMFAO!

Was that shrill ringing on purpose?

Carlos Maza's show is the best one on Vox! Thumbs up!

People are overusing the term "troll" to the point that they think it's a form of online street cred. What politicians are doing is lying and misleading the public, which has been happening centuries before current internet terminology. Call it what it really is...bullshitting. No need to sugarcoat things.

Thanks for the tinnitus @ 00:22
