Not the onion I swear.

President Trump has launched a "real news" video series on his Facebook page, part of his longstanding effort to dismiss the news provided by the mainstream media.
The inaugural episode, published Sunday, features Trump's daughter-in-law Lara boasting about the president's accomplishments in front of a background of Trump campaign logos.
"I bet you haven't heard about all the accomplishments the president had this week because there's so much fake news out there," says Lara Trump, who is married to Eric Trump.
"Watch here for REAL news!" says a post on the president's personal Facebook page.
Presidents and lawmakers have used websites and social media platforms for years to promote their achievements, but the "real news" series goes further, seeking to discredit the mainstream media and advertising what purports to be a reliable alternative.
As BuzzFeed has noted, mainstream media outlets did cover the stories Lara Trump cites as being ignored, including Trump's donating his second-quarter salary to the Education Department and Foxconn's plans to build a plant in Wisconsin.
Ignored by Trump's "real news" segment were Republicans' failure to repeal and replace Obamacare, the president's tweets announcing a ban on transgender people in the military, and shake-ups in the West Wing that led to the departures of chief of staff Reince Priebus, press secretary Sean Spicer and communications director Anthony Scaramucci.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Which one will we get? Conspiracies? Lies? Propaganda? Or all the above?

Getting more desperate every day with the investigation still going...

I just can't.

 

[Divvy]

Going full on with the fascism I see

 

[Dead Prince]

Was waiting for his Kim Jong Un moment.

 

[zethren]

Dangerous and stupid.

 

[theWB27]

Fox News won't like this.

 

[silvon]

This seems like something that dictators in illiberal countries do, not the US...

 

[Makonero]

Facebook needs to shut this propaganda down now.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

This is nothing but a turkey.



That goes Goebbels Goebbels Goebbels.

 

[Baron Doggystyle von Woof]

Now real news with alternative facts.

 

[Oersted]

Both sides

emails

 

[Shadybiz]

God...what a fucking joke this guy is.

 

[Boke1879]

beginnings of State Run media and the fucking GOP is silent.

 

[Sulik2]

Hopefully the fake new regulations Germany is instituting that will affect Facebook will apply to this and FB will close it down.

beginnings of State Run media and the fucking GOP is silent.

The GOP doesn't need a state run media organization. Fox News is already their propaganda arm.

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

You don't actually believe they have a problem with it, it is just that they want to be the ones controlling it. The GOP isn't small government at all, they never have been.

Oh I know. They can't claim to be that party at all anymore.


And people this isn't even desperation. This was likely the plan put forward by people in his staff. Bannon, Miller etc.

This is how you create a cult.

[mnannola]

Fox News no longer working out for him?

 

[Stop It]

My god.

Someone send him a copy of Nineteen Eighty Four post haste.

Or maybe not, he may well get the complete wrong message.

 

[kmax]

Real news!

 

[Lucreto]

Now I know where to go for my weekly fake news

 

[Palette Swap]

That's some Kim bullshit alright.

 

[Crayon]

My internal screaming intensifies.

 

[RPGCrazied]

I thought she was the silent one. We all thought Ivanka was the sane one, lol

I guess all the Trumps are bad, save maybe Barron. Wait until he grows up though.

 

[tbm24]

Most amusing part is his fucking daughter in law is doing this. What does he expect to happen.

 

[IamDodongo]

That's pretty creepy dude

 

[Shadybiz]

My god.

....There is no way he'd read that. It's as big as a book.

 

[The Elite]

I look forward to hearing how many hole in ones he gets in golf.

 

[TheCochese]

Needs to be marked a fuckton of spam, or however you report shit on Facebook. Not that they'll care.

 

[Apdiddy]

Not far from Starship Troopers I see. If what's going on is not good all around, then they'll have on Facebook how everything is good. The new immigration policy is getting closer to that with the merit based system. My guess is if a new immigrant wants to enter the US and doesn't speak English, their military service will equal citizenship.

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

I'm sure Trump's cult of personality will love this shit, cannot wait to see it shared across FB.

This guys is the King of projection. If you have to call your shit, real news, you know its fake news.

 

[ClosingADoor]

My God, this family... how do you put together so many disgusting people willing to go along with this stuff.

Looks like Trump still wants to launch his media network, despite actually winning.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

I'm only surprised it took this long.

 

[TheCochese]

I'm sure Trump's cult of personality will love this shit, cannot wait to see it shared across FB.

I will instantly unfriend anyone I see doing that, I don't give a shit if it's my father.

 

[overcast]

What a fucking joke.

 

[Sunster]

soooo a state run media? huh..

 

[bobnowhere]

"You may have fooled the people once, shame on — shame on them. Fool them — they can't get fooled again.”

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

I imagine the people who'll lap this up are the same folks who are all about small government.

 

[Messofanego]

Setting up a propaganda news show, I wonder what country inspired them to do this?

 

[Kensation]

Eric still left outside RIP

Oh, so Trump is taking notes from Maduro, Erdogan and Lord Putin and all other dictators.

This would be scary if it all weren't so stupid.

Nah, actually, that makes it scarier.

 

[Copenap]

It's incredible that in the year 2017 the US president launches his own propaganda channel.
