Fake News in the Age of the Internet

WHO AND WHAT IS A “JOURNALIST?”

by Sharon Rondeau
(Aug. 19, 2019) — Over the last quarter-century, the arrival and burgeoning of the Internet has largely shifted the major purveyors of news from traditional, print publications to literally millions of online outlets boasting “breaking news” and eye-catching headlines.
With Americans’ trust severely ​eroded in “mainstream” news sources, numerous bloggers, amateur and professional writers, and broadcast hosts on such platforms as YouTube, Vimeo and Brighteon have worked to grow audiences and “followers” with the potential for significant monetization and name recognition without the benefit of cable or network television stations.

“TIMELINES MATTER”

by Sharon Rondeau
(Aug. 20, 2019) — The following is The Post & Email and former Maricopa County, AZ “Cold Case Posse” lead investigator Mike Zullo’s response to claims made in an August 9, 2019 YouTube ​broadcast hosted by Sarah Westall by two self-professed “investigative journalists,” Mary Fanning and Alan Jones of “​The American Report​.”
In response to this writer’s challenges to Fanning’s inaccurate claims entered as comments below the video, Fanning termed this writer and Zullo “pathetic liars,” a clear example of the “slander and libel” of which she has accused us.
Interestingly, Fanning and Jones’s latest publication at CommDigiNews contains the disclaimer, “​The above opinions and reporting are those of the authors.” They also now acknowledge that Zullo was the source of “​The Whistleblower Tapes​” upon which they base their many inaccurate and unproven claims.
