Hi, I'm Royalflush0 and I wanted to find out how credible /r/The_Donald is.
I promised that to /u/Bnjoec here after claiming that a lot of the stuff on /r/The_Donald is wrong/fake.
I am using the frontpage from 18 Dez. 2016 23:33:00 UTC. I made an archive here.
Post 1: Michelle Obama: Barack Obama is the Parent and the American Public Are His Hurt Little Kids - SHE IS AS DELUSIONAL AS HIM - You just can't make this shit up...... Thanks for the RIOTS DAD!
First post and I already found bullshit. The title makes it look like Michelle said that Barack Obama is the parent and the Public are his "hurt little kids". However all Michelle Obama did was comparing how the White House has to be calm so the public won't freak out to how a parent has to be calm to not make a toddler cry after he bumped his head. I suck at phrasing so I'll just quote Michelle herself the way they did in the article. “Our children respond to crises the way they see us respond,” Mrs. Obama said. “You know, it’s like the toddler that bumps his head on the table and they look up at you to figure out if it hurts.”
TL;DR: mostly bullshit
Post 2-3: memes/shitposts
Post 4: Podesta is LYING: The first email dump came an hour BEFORE, not after the access Hollywood tape. The tape was designed to distract from wikileaks, not the other way around!
Second relevant post and I found "fake news" again. The time of the two leaks can very easily be compared by looking at both tweets here and here. You can also very easily access this information by just googling it, Politifact debunked it here
TL;DR: bullshit
Post 5: Kellyanne Conway just dropped the "Let's not forget that Bill Clinton got $1M for a speech in Russia and Hillary sold them 20% of US Uranium rights through their 'foundation'" bomb on CBS' The Nation. DAYAMN!!!!
The "$1M for a speech in Russia" seems to be refering to this speech. (Couldn't find another good source) Too bad that 1: the speech earned 500k and not 1M, and 2: the money was not "earned" by Bill Clinton but got donated to the Clinton Foundation.
The claim that Hillary sold 20% of US Uranium to a Russian company is also mostly bullshit, what happened was that Clintons department approved a deal of which some investors donated to the Clinton foundation. The whole story can be found here
TL;DR: double bullshit
Post 6-7: memes/shitposts
Post 8: bullshit but not meant to be taken seriously
Post 9-10: memes/shitposts
Post 11-12: conspiracy theories I won't judge these
Post 13-15: memes/shitposts
Post 16: very, very stupid question
Post 18: Black Crimes Matter!
The table is not faked. The stats can be found here. The table is however screwed to make it look less impactful than it is. If you change it so it shows the stats per 1,000,000 members of the victims race instead of the murderers race (which probably makes more sense when looking at BLM) the table will look slightly different, find it here (Note that my numbers are very slightly off because I probably used a different source for population stats). Also there's way more to BLM than just white to black murder.
TL;DR: half-truth
Post 19-24: memes/shitposts
Conclusion: I could actually "analyze" way less than I thought because it's so full of shitposts.
/r/The_Donald is way worse than I thought. I knew there was a lot of shit getting posted but I didn't expect it to be that bad. A positive aspect was that further at the top there were less shitposts. The further I scrolled down the more shitposts and memes came. Something to note about these is that they're really hateful most of the time. Most of them made fun about "triggering" liberals or insulted Obama/Podesta/Muslims.
Of the serious things I found (tweets & articles) almost all of them were bullshit. Apparently their mods don't give a fuck. Really showcases the right-wing's relationship with truth and facts. I hope the reddit admins will do something against that sub.
I'm sick of this bullshit and tired. Sorry for my poor grammar I'm from germany. Also sorry for any poor formatting. Good night. Sleep tight!
TLDR: The_Donald really doesn't give a fuck about what's the truth and what's fake anymore. Right now pretty much everything posted there is bullshit. I rate the credibility 0/10.
