Fake news is nothing new. Neither are hoaxes. However, the Internet makes these kinds of reports much easier to circulate. Did they influence the election results? Seriously? I seriously doubt it!!

I know many people think the American voters are stupid. But I don’t share their point of view. When it comes to choosing our presidents as you can tell by this last election and any of the elections before TRUMP vs CLINTON … people vote according to matters of their heart, i.e. what’s important to them.

(Although, with this last election, I sometimes wonder if the decision may have been made by a flip of the coin. Heads = Hillary. Tails = Trump. Sorry. We didn’t have really great choices! But those were the two who hung in there all the way!)

Sure! A bogus news report may make people stop and think … Hmmm? True or false? But in the end, when that lever is pulled to cast a vote … they’re thinking of whether or not the candidate they vote for is going to make life better for them.

It takes a lot more than a fake news report for a person to not be able to recognize what their own “priorities” are.

For the record, folks who call Facebook Fakebook are probably similar to the same people who called our Central Intelligence Agency, the Central Stupidity Agency. Eh! It sounds catchy!

The fact is, that kids in Macedonia created a lot of propaganda and like the Ulsterman Report, could not have stood up to any scrutiny, but few scrutinised.

The Internet has made this kind of activity more common and more people are taken in.

Take particular ‘heath products’ which have been completely exposed. Yet, on the Internet, you can find site after site selling these ‘health products’.

Scams are schemes to con you out of your money. They can arrive by post, phone call, text message or email, or from someone coming to your home.

It’s very distressing to be caught out by a scam. But it’s important to report it to try and stop the scammer striking again

This page tells you what you can do if you’ve been a victim of a scam and who you can report it to.

f you’ve lost money because of a scam report it to Action Fraud, the national fraud reporting centre.

You can report the scam through online or by phone.

You’ll need to provide as much information as possible, for example any names or other information about the scammer, dates and details about how the money has been lost or how you were threatened.

If you’ve been threatened with physical violence on your doorstep, you can report this to the police by calling 101.

Oh!!If Hillary had won these the Macedonian propaganda would not have been there…What we are thinking about u.s voters is that they not only think in terms of their National but the Relationship of their country with the neighboring countries and other nations of the world.
I have been campaigning for Mr. Donald as I have seen something conspicuous in his statements and remarks which are very safe for India as well as to the other Nations of the world. It is not only the U.S citizen who participated and voted in the U.S elections the Nations of the world have set for themselves some benefits, losses, advantages, and disadvantages in taking a side
How can the U.S voters go and vote for Clinton who was time and again pleading guilty of her emails scandal whenever it was made a point of attack.
The facebook propaganda can not be a Macedonian propaganda and even then the websites so created therein might have earned something through Adsense account, not from the treasury of their own Nations.
We can not even say that the reports and website are scams. That phase has gone and ended with a positive result in favor of Mr. Donald.
Let us view this with a positive perspective.

Fake news work all over the world just make human beings minds negative from all respects and it is launched from the opposite part with a solid plan. they want to draw in American visitors through Facebook and make money off of sales of display ads on their bootleg politics sites. “In Macedonia the economy is very weak and teenagers are not allowed to work, so we need to find creative ways to make some money,

The business model is not particularly different from any mainstream publisher’s social-media strategy in an era where more people look at Facebook than all news outlets combined: Build a Facebook page, gather a large following, and try to draw that audience off of Facebook and onto your site, where you’re serving the ads off of which you draw revenue. If you’re a mainstream publisher,

it’s a frustrating model, since the margins are extremely thin — the aggregate cost of enticing a given reader is, at best, only slightly less than the ad revenue they generate, and is often more.

This Facebook-news arbitrage scheme is booming this election season, thanks to this confluence of Facebook (and its ability to drive an audience), Google (and its ability to seamlessly monetize any website), and this particular election (and its ability to fill people with passionate, spitting rage).

Thanks to our new media landscape, hoaxes, exaggerations, and outright lies aren’t just able to propagate but are actually incentivized. And it’s not clear that there’s an easy way to fix it.

LOL. LOL. Hilarious! That was a great story. You kept my attention from start to finish! I was visualizing everything while I was reading and also thinking ‘Sounds like my house’. LOL. LOL. 🙂

In Greek mythology Thetis dipped her son Achilles in the mythical River Styx. Anyone who was immersed in the river became invulnerable. However Thetis held Achilles by his heel. Since her hand covered this part of his body the water did not touch it and so it remained vulnerable. Achilles was eventually killed when Paris of Troy fired an arrow at him and it hit his heel.

A bakers dozen means thirteen. This old saying is said to come from the days when bakers were severely punished for baking underweight loaves. Some added a loaf to a batch of a dozen to be above suspicion.

On a ship the beams are horizontal timbers that stretch across the ship and support the decks. If you are on your beam-ends your ship is leaning at a dangerous angle. In other words you are in a precarious situation.

This old saying means to grin and bear a painful situation. It comes from the days before anesthetics. A soldier about to undergo an operation was given a bullet to bite.

Anchor cable was wrapped around posts called bitts. The last piece of cable was called the bitter end. If you let out the cable to the bitter end there was nothing else you could do, you had reached the end of your resources.

I always struggled with writer’s block, especially when I was writing stories for projects. Such a helpful post!

Living in different world is easy if we all of us have a clear conscious but we have make our minds narrow due to which people are living with too much difficulties all over the wold and we must keep in mind that we all of is for each other on earth. We must live peacefully.

People from ethnic minorities still face “entrenched” race inequality across many strands of modern life in Britain, according to the Equality and Human Rights Commission.

A sweeping review examining areas including education, employment, housing, pay, health and criminal justice painted an “alarming picture
The commission, which carried out an analysis of existing evidence, found Black people in England are more than three times more likely to be a victim of homicide than those who are white.

Unemployment rates were “significantly higher” for ethnic minorities and ethnic minority people were more likely to live in poverty than white people.

Ethnic minorities are still “hugely under-represented” in positions of power – such as judges and police chiefs. Poorer white communities also face “continuing disadvantage

I think that ‘Living in a different world: A joint review of disability hate crime’ details the findings of a joint inspection by HM Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate, HMIC and HM Inspectorate of Probation. Inspectors wanted to find out how the police, CPS and probation trusts deal with crimes against disabled people.

This involved reviewing how the three agencies work and revealed problems in the detection and recording of crimes targeted against people because of their disability.

I recall writing an article, being attacked because the reader thought I was writing from America. You find most Americans assume everyone lives in America. When you say no… it’s like you don’t know what you are talking about.

If you realise a site is made up of people from all over the world you can read their items and learn. If you think everyone lives the same life as you do, then you will miss all the interesting facts.
