This post is for folks like Pegw, Rinaldi, Kevyn, and other far-left wingnuts who keep extolling the “virtues” of the information they get from sources like CommunistNewsNetwork and other alphabet propaganda agencies.
Whenever they resort to their “sources,” I suggest we/someone post this list back at them to remind them of their severe lack of discernment.

A friend of mine noted that there are also these additions to the list…
36. Climate Change
37. Carbon is bad
38. The whole Fauci-Berx CvD19 propaganda push to get us needled
39. Social distancing
40. Closed business, parks, beaches, schools, "safe and effective",
41. The AP's fake news report on Russian rocket hitting Poland that might as well be begging to start World War III.
42. The most damaging fake news comes from the biggest corporate media outlets.
These were reported as "news" by the folks that our leftist “friends” on OPP turn to for their "faux-facts" and call them “news” but are all actually propaganda to support by dishonesty and deception the leftist agenda.
Oops, can't update the title, but it should be bonus 7, not 8. My bad.
