Re:Better to address fake news
The overwhelming majority of news coverage of Trump was negative (92%).

Even Fox news had more negative (52%) coverage than positive (48%).
This stands is sharp contrast to his approval rating by the public which ranges from 38% to 48% based on which poll you want to use.

Having that large of a disparity between the media and the masses shows that the public isn't buying what the media is selling. My point stands that the public doesn't trust the media. If you don't trust someone you will try to avoid paying for their services. The impact is that media outlets are going out of business in large numbers.

Re:No actual evidence for the so-called DNC hack
And virtually everybody in the US intelligence apparatus disagrees with him.
The only statement we have which tries to make the opinion (an "assessment") from the Obama administration which I can't find anyone who seriously believes; nobody believes all of those agencies agree on anything much less that opinion. Sy Hersh says as much when he talked about that assessment and the media's lacking coverage of it ("What does an assessment mean? It's not a national intelligence estimate. If you had a real estimate you would have five or six dissents, people saying, 'cause I can tell you right now. One time they said 17 agencies all agreed. Oh really? The Coast Guard and the Air Force, they all agreed on it? And it was outrageous and nobody did that story."). Even the ostensible source of Russiagate stories—alleged collusion between some Russians and the Trump campaign—isn't looking so rosy for proponents anymore (it never looked relevant for the American public; Russiagate doesn't address the public's concerns it only reflects elite's interests). As the title indicates, "Mueller report PSA: Prepare for disappointment." and one report concurs. And this kind of downplaying has been done before. To think this is all being done in service of a neoliberalist losing a rigged election in search of an excuse to distract us from her culpability, what those leaked emails actually said, and possibly manufacture lies that could help foment a future war with Russia.
No they don't, they're morons.
Sources and evidence, not namecalling, are required to sustain convincing arguments.

Re:Facebook Story
Let's see what Facebook does ban.
- Facebook banned independent media and activist pages like Free Thought Project, Antimedia, and Cop Block
- Facebook banned the Independent Women's Forum for ad targeting based on gender
- Facebook banned an Israeli news site for running an article on Hezbollah
- Facebook banned another journalist
- Facebook banned muslim Tarek Fatah for opposing extremist Muslims
- Facebook banned the founder of #WalkAway because he mentioned that he would be interviewed by Alex Jones
- Facebook banned a bunch of hippie new age alternative health sites
- Facebook bans a guy from ridiculing Hamas
- Facebook bans a guy from saying "This is a man dressed as a woman. This is not a woman."
- Facebook bans a guy from joking about eating Tide Pods
- Facebook shadowbanned the President of the United States
- Facebook banned the Venus of Willendorf
But an obviously scammy ad is "fully compliant" and meets all of their rules. Funny how that works.

Re:Two movies
Not hard. Just ask them - why do you think he's a racist? Certainly your opinion is based on something, otherwise that's irrational.
They won't be able to say because there is nothing to show he's a racist and in fact Trump was held up in the black world as an example of what to be. How he's helped black people and so on. Listen to a black woman Obama voter -
