Fake news for liberals: misinformation starts to lean left under Trump
The president’s tumultuous first weeks in office could influence uptick in viral sharing of misleading articles and propaganda that stoke  ‘Whoever is in power is going to be the target’: fake news that was once anti-Clinton is now shifting with Trump as president. Photograph: Alamy Stock Photo / Photomontage by GNM imaging While stories of police violence at Standing Rock have become commonplace, the account that spread last week was particularly shocking. An article from AlternativeMediaSyndicate.com said officers had burned the camps of indigenous activists fighting the Dakota Access pipeline – and destroyed their tipis. The piece, which included an image of multiple large tipis engulfed in flames, was shared more than 270,000 times on Facebook. But the photo was from a 2007 HBO film, and a key premise of the story was fake. Continue Reading ... |

Newsletter Today: Trump to California — I'll Cut You Off. Houston, We Have a Comeback.
Davan Maharaj, editor-in-chief of the Los Angeles Times.
It was another weekend of checks, balances and mean tweets, as the legal fight continued over President Trump’s travel ban (yes, he used that word again).

Kelly McParland: Liz Sandals should try taking the train. She might see her staff there
Kelly McParland | February 6, 2017
When your government is engaged in a multi-billion-dollar effort to improve transit facilities as a way to get drivers off the road and into more environmentally-friendly means of travel, it’s generally not a good idea to suggest the people who make use of those facilities are a pack of dimwitted losers who lack the talent to rate a more prestigious form of transport. This would be news to Liz Sandals, Treasury Board president in Premier Kathleen Wynne’s Ontario government, who let commuters on the province’s GO train system know just how low they rate in her estimation. Asked how the average GO commuter might view proposals to hand generous pay hikes to executives at some of Ontario’s bigger corporations – including an extra $8 million for the already lavishly-compensated bosses at Ontario Power Generation – Sandals offered a brusque put-down.
