Yikes!!! FAKE NEWS ALERT

We are nearly on the eve of Gipson and the ATA's fake news release. Last year the news was 15,000 shooters in the campgrounds prelim week. Another 15,000 in the local motels. Yeah....it was a Woodstock of trapshooters.

Irony....fake news is always aimed at the stupid and inept.

 

Is it "Fake News", or "Propaganda" ?????

"Corporate" ..... "Main article: Corporate propaganda"

"Corporate propaganda refers to propagandist claims made by a corporation (or corporations), for the purpose of manipulating market opinion with regard to that corporation, its products and services, or its activities. Common euphemisms for corporate propaganda are advertising and public relations." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda

"Fake"..... "adjective": "not genuine; counterfeit." ..... "noun": "a thing that is not genuine; a forgery or sham." ..... "verb": "forge or counterfeit (something)." ..... https://www.google.com/search?q=fake definition&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

There were "campers and shooters", and "they"(ATA) claimed "errors" in "reporting" to the "media" ..... So, "misinformation": "false or inaccurate information, especially that which is deliberately intended to deceive" ..... may not be "fake", but weak "Propaganda" to keep the dumbest of the "sheep" from leaving the "herd", and keep the "cash cow" giving "cash" .....

 

News papers and magazines do the same thing with circulation numbers. The higher the circulation numbers the more they charge for advertising space. Just a little scam. Roger C.

 

According to the ATA website,
AIM pre- register is up about 10% for the AIM Nationals and
Grand pre-registering is up almost 8%

 

"According to the ATA website" ..... heck, that is almost as "reliable" as "Facebook" .....

"A lie can spread on Facebook before the truth has even been posted, and even the most savvy news consumers can be tricked. What can we do about it?" ..... https://www.theguardian.com/media/2016/nov/17/facebook-fake-news-satire

 

Win101, Is that fake news, are you going to up the price of advertising in trap & field? I'm going to count the shooters at Sparta and get back to you. If you are wrong, all advertisers will want a rebate. Roger C.

 

Last year they doubled the number of shooters in the trap and field rag. Then they said ooops. But not until the forum caught the lie.
