'Fake News' voted top word or phrase which should be bannished from the English language

[gsdx]

DETROIT -- Let me ask you this: Would a story that unpacks a list of tiresome words and phrases be impactful or a nothingburger? Worse, could it just be fake news?

Northern Michigan's Lake Superior State University on Sunday released its 43rd annual List of Words Banished from the Queen's English for Misuse, Overuse and General Uselessness . The tongue-in-cheek, non-binding list of 14 words or phrases comes from thousands of suggestions to the Sault Ste. Marie school.

This year's list includes "let me ask you this," "unpack," "impactful," "nothingburger," "tons," "dish," "drill down," "let that sink in," and the top vote-getter, "fake news."

The others are "pre-owned," "onboarding/offboarding," "gig economy" and the redundant "hot water heater." Also on the list is the Trumpian Twitter typo "covfefe."

Of course, Trump managed to get in one last unnecessary and stupid dig to the 'Fake News' in his 'Happy New Year' message. His fans must love it, but it's not a New Year message a president should be sending out to the country and to the world. The man seriously suffers from 'ID 10 T' syndrome:

Yes, it is shameful. I'd like to suggest a new expression of our own for 2018. "Fake News worthy."

^ What's more shameful is the number of world leader who have picked up on it and are now using it against any news agency which disagrees with them or catches them in a lie.

Why? The world is finally learning what bullshit is being crammed down its throat in the name of truth. Leaving the current schizophrenic American politics aside for the moment, check these out:

With all of the politically-charged talk about banning “fake news” sites, it seems appropriate to review some of the worst fake news stories pushed by mainstream media outlets. No matter how large your family gathering is this Thanksgiving, you won’t be chowing down on a turkey as big as these phony stories from A-list television shows and publications...

As for the Trump era bullshit being flung around by MSM, they prove themselves liars every day, CNN being the worst, and the sheeple are waking up. YAY!!!

Wait a minute, weren't you just crapping on Bannon, and now you're quoting Brietbart?

How much did that cost the Kremlin?

 

[mikey3000]

Yeah, obviously Bannon knows his bullshit, da?

That was just lame Mikey, I know you can do better, try again.

And still no comments about all the fake news that has been flowing out of the White House or Trump's mouth or Fox News all this time. Three sources which constantly condemn all other news as 'fake' and you can count on your hands all the times they've been truthful.

As the proud mother said as she watched her son march past in the parade "Oh, look. Everybody's out of step but my son, John."

Nyet!

Nyet!

DA!

Lame.
