Hat tip TMWNN
I was so disappointed when TBP didn’t make this cunt’s first “fake news” website list. I guess we’ve ramped up our game, because we now make the list. If you want a comprehensive list of websites that are not spewing Deep State approved propaganda, disguised as “real news”, you should checkout these websites. The entire “fake news” meme used by the mainstream media has completely backfired, as normal people capable of thinking for themselves always gravitate to the truth. TBP tells the truth – and truth is treason in an empire of lies. Fuck Melissa Zimdars and whoever is funding her fake news bullshit.
THE LIST
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended. But it is not easy nor inexpensive to do so, especially when those who wish to prevent us from making the truth known, attack us without mercy on all fronts on a daily basis. So each time you visit the site, I would ask that you consider the value that you receive and have received from The Burning Platform and the community of which you are a vital part. I can't do it all alone, and I need your help and support to keep it alive. Please consider contributing an amount commensurate to the value that you receive from this site and community, or even by becoming a sustaining supporter through periodic contributions.

Melissa Zimdars: The Truth About Fake News
In the aftermath of the 2016 US Presidential election, “fake news” was blamed as a major reason for Donald Trump’s upset victory over Hillary Clinton. A wide range of players, from Russian propagandists to paid partisan puppeteers, were accused of fabricating stories which were then widely circulated via social media to influence the hearts and minds of voters.
A national debate then raged — and still does — about whether “fake news” truly exists and, if so, should it be tolerated. And, immediately after the election, a number of major media outlets, including Google and Facebook, announced planned steps to block ‘suspect’ content sources on their platforms.
Amidst this tumult, a college professor compiled an aggregated list of “False, Misleading, Clickbait-y, and/or Satirical “News” Sources”, which quickly became known as the “fake news list”. The mainstream media immediately latched on to this list of culprits, and circulated it heavily across the headlines of major outlets like CNN, The Washington Post, Fox News, The Boston Globe, New York Magazine, USA Today, Business Insider and The Dallas Morning News
(Full disclosure: this website, PeakProsperity.com, was initially included on the list. We’ve learned it has since been removed.)
So many questions have been raised by this list. Is naming these sources a public service? Or it is censorship? What criteria are used to declare content “fake”? Who comes up with those criteria, and who is making the decisions? What are their qualifications? Is it the media’s job to “protect” the public from information? Or is it the reader’s responsibility to judge for themselves what is and isn’t a trustworthy source?
To explore answers to these — and many more — questions, on this week’s podcast we discuss the “fake news list” with its creator, Dr. Melissa Zimdars, assistant professor of communications at Merrimack College.
Chris’ line of inquiry is brutally direct. And many of Dr. Zimdars’ answers are more nuanced then many of her critics will expect. Wherever you fall on this topic, you’ll find this an exceptionally open, frank debate of the key issues at stake on the public’s right to information in the modern age.

Just another ignorant bitch loose in the secondary with daddy’s money…….
Ms. Zimtard.
Looked at your list?
Yeah. You are an avid reader of news?
Crowdsourced and reader sponsored?
Primary labeller?
Or just an uptight cunt?
Take a bow TBP we are doing something right.

That is funny. I think I know several like her.
I suggest you rename your page “A” Burning Platform and seize one of the top spots. Or, even, AA Burning Platform in honor of those of us who are striving toward sobriety.
And, by the way, I still have the lovely oil painting on canvas once titled “Fire on Kentucky Lake” which I think would really class the joint up.

(and, yes, I have been told by someone HERE it resembles female genitalia but enough already with the bigotry, you shitheads. I’m trying to sell a work of art)
Hope not to offend but peddling that painting. Ain’t big on art but that masterpiece is a trainwreck. I’m thinking a rebranding is in order. Since we are relabeling things I have a suggestion.

Fire in Kentucky Snatch!
That should get some action..
Another video…
Dammit… and I’ve been such a fan of yours! I’m not “still peddling” it at all. It is offered on a rare occasion ONLY to people who might truly appreciate its quality.
By the way? My aunt did it with a paintbrush meant to paint the outside of a house. Her favored type of art was pottery, sculpture and she had gorgeous calligraphy. The assignment of a Turner Landscape was NOT her forte.
Sorry about that Maggie. I know you are not peddling it. I don’t mean to offend so if I have I take it back. Anyways hope you can forgive me! In all seriousness if my mind wasn’t terminally in gutter I can almost see the lake for the tress. It is likely is real nice painting.
consider yourself fergiven
Whew! I was worried for a minutes or two.
The candy cracker does crumble at times.
Maybe if you view ‘it’ sideways.
Since you made request I “fixed” the problem. What say you now?

you know what? I kind of like it that way. Hmmm… let me rethink my marketing strategy.
Yay !!!
Definite vagina…..just sayin.
Turn it 180 & it could be called ass up, face down… or something.
THAT’S more like it!
Where’s Georgia O’Keefe when you need her?
Whomever thinks that resembles female genitalia needs to:
1. get your eyeglasses checked
2. get out and socialize more often
3. hang around with different women (and their genitalia).
<<wink>>
Congratulations Admin, you’ve arrived! And deservedly so.
Your writing is truthful and inspirational, and I look forward to more.
Also, the shit-throwing monkeys are often fun to read.
Respectfully,
NtroP
Awesome! Now I have a ready made list of alternative websites that might give actual news/information. Great reference! 🙂
Congratulations !!!
Yes, congratulations! I am so embarrassed for my alma mater Merrimack College.
Maybe this will be the tipping point for Stucky to come back.
“I don’t agree with blocking information…” but I have made it easy and given the establishment air cover to do so. So I can sound all reasonable but still advance my favored narrative.
Chris went way too easy on that shill. He should have asked her who is funding her project.
I’m still more impressed by TBPs inclusion on the Shitlord Hub. I wonder if this slithering Zimdars twit gets $$ for clicks on that site.
What a badge of honor. Is Zimdars a jewish name? Just wondering
Yawn, nothing new here. The last time I saw this list TBP was listed as “unknown” and I see that it hasn’t changed. But I looked at a few others and saw Tomwoods.com listed as “unreliable.” Seriously? wtf wtf wtf??? This guy is a PhD historian from Haaaaaaarrrrvaaaahhhhdddd. That’s as high as it gets, motherfuckers! Where the fuck did this bitch matriculate?
Twas I above. You can tell by the erudite and polite language, as always.
The Libtard so-called professor Zimdars says she trusts “The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes as well as The Atlantic, National Public Radio, etc.” In other words she’s drinking the mainstream propaganda Kool-Aid so, on the principle that my enemy’s enemy is my friend; that’s kudos to TBP.

So is it your fault or mine. I had to go to a different website to get to top this morning after Web address supposedly being closed. No videos would show up on the page today. Some comments were not there, screen kept going black. Had to go back to main page and come in again. Tried to like posts and screen would go black. Push comment screen goes black.
So tell me tbp folks, am I being paranoid, or is anybody else experiencing technical difficulties such as these.
I just did that post
TBP instead of top up there
