Free Press has a web-page dedicated to exposing fake news because it has gotten out of hand. Free Press focuses on American media, but they still provide information for people so anyone can learn how to spot fake news.
What is fake new? Well in this case it refers to “news” that has been supplied by a corporate mouthpiece. The journalist may work for the product being discussed, or the parent company of the news channel influences the report. Fake news is growing and it is up to people to stop it.
Some marketing genius has given people the opportunity to make their own commercials for an SUV. So, people have used the commercial-making tool to roll their own versions that point out that SUVs kill the environment. A fantastic act of subversion.
The company is most likely taking down the commercials that point out that the environment exists so here is an example one from youtube.
If you find other clips post them in the comments.
The president of Oglala Lakhota native reserve in South Dakota is looking to have abortion clinics on their sovereign land. South Dakota recently passed a bill that makes abortion illegal, even if it is wanted after a “simple rape.” The law makers were mostly males, and they decided that women can’t make their own decisions about what they can (and can’t) do to their bodies.
“The President of the Oglala Sioux Tribe on the Pine Ridge Reservation, Cecilia Fire Thunder, was incensed. A former nurse and healthcare giver she was very angry that a state body made up mostly of white males, would make such a stupid law against women”
And for a little direct action, I encourage all females to call Senator Bill Napoli at work at 605-348-7373 for help making decisions since he thinks women can’t think. So if you don’t know if you should watch Brokeback Mountain or V is for Vendetta give him a ring!

If you think abortion is not a “good thing,” please leave a comment as to why. I am very curious as to why people think abortion is wrong.
Thousands of people showed their love for peace yesterday by protesting the war in Iraq, Afghanistan, and many other conflicts around the world.
Forbes has an article on the peace movement (in their technology section for some odd reason) and the CBC has a much better article that covers the international scale of the peace movement.
For those of you who couldn’t make it out to a rally you can always email your representatives in your government.
