Sky News host Chris Kenny says a “fascinating new battlefront” has emerged when it comes to “fake news” and the ongoing mainstream media campaign targeting US President realDonaldTrump.

Sky News host Chris Kenny says a “fascinating new battlefront” has emerged when it comes to “fake news” and the ongoing mainstream media campaign targeting US President Donald Trump. Social Networking service Twitter has now added fact-check warnings to Donald Trump’s Tweets, something the president says is an infringement on free speech.

“Of course, Trump's claims about the risk of fraud and political skulduggery are absolutely valid”. “So when Twitter tries to steer people to the facts it is not defeating Fake News, it is favouring one angle of political spin over another angle of spin”. Mr Kenny also said the fact-check feature could be used on Australia’s national broadcaster considering the ABC got “Brexit wrong, the Trump election wrong” and the last federal election result wrong too.

realDonaldTrump Bet Chris has a fantasy about this .

realDonaldTrump Better fact check that, Chris. SkyNews is rife with fake claims.

realDonaldTrump He did agree to their user agreement, but then again he doesn't abide by agreements

realDonaldTrump Tweeting about conspiracies regarding someone that has died and having her Widow (who is still unmarried after 19 years) have to write a letter to Twitter and beg for it to be deleted... and they don’t. That is what’s wrong with the world. F*** off Trump 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

realDonaldTrump Only you and Sky channel don’t think that he is sick corrupt lier. He is bullying every country and spreading lies if they don’t do what he wants. He acts like 5 years old child not like President.

realDonaldTrump Chris Kenny needs that too

realDonaldTrump Chris .... could you please check the facts in the tweets are actual inaccurate? Complaining about who does the fact checking should not be the issue.

realDonaldTrump I thought Kenny's specialist subject was interspecies relations... Not facts, truth and politics. Is his family speaking to him yet about that canine 'incident'?

realDonaldTrump Sky 'News' Fecal Discharge Unit says correcting a blatant lie is 'Fake News'. Cool story. Truth hurts thin skin fecal matter.. No wonder it's facial anus is open delivering fresh inflow to the local waste water treatment facility.

realDonaldTrump Yeah, those pesky right wing neocons would bitch about using fact to counter outright lies.

realDonaldTrump Kenny talking about fake news? Too funny.

realDonaldTrump Facts have always been a problem for Donald, how dare twitter point out his lack of truthfulness............

realDonaldTrump I luv how Chris giggles at the ineptitude of ABCaustralia near the end of this piece

realDonaldTrump A Sky New host making thinly-veilled, pro-Trump statements, isn't news. It's propaganda. Shame on you, .

realDonaldTrump How fun... Even Twitter feels the need to manipulate the narrative. Total bullshit, from every direction, not even Reuters can be trusted.

realDonaldTrump I hear News Corp is cutting costs. Start by axing Kenny, Credlin, Bolt, Jones and Murray. Get some unbiased opinion in there.

realDonaldTrump The world all over fell for great Russia, Russia, Russia, the actual information come from a foreign spy, paid by Hillary and low and behold, the info come from Russia 😂😂😂 what dupes

realDonaldTrump Dam I just fact-check snorting glen20 and shelving High powered LED’s take me now WIV 🦠

realDonaldTrump Calling factual accounts “fake news” doesn’t make it so. The proven liar is the POTUS. That’s irrefutable.

realDonaldTrump Chris Kenny is running at the mouth. He needs to provide actual evidence that the challenge to Trump's lies are 'fake'. He has not adduced a scintilla of evidence that the MSM is wrongly challenging Trump's lies.

realDonaldTrump It's a shame is small fry, but a fact check by Twitter on your sensationalist & provocative news could also do with a fact check. - auspol FakeNewsAlert FactsMatter Australia abc730

realDonaldTrump Is any news true. Can’t say that with Sky. DT. ABC. Is all sensationalism at it finest. Remember the DT claiming a million Australians could die from Corona Virus.

realDonaldTrump That poor chap Kenny is not right in the head.

realDonaldTrump You mean it's making more people aware when Trump spews bullshit. Guess it's lucky for Chris he tucked his tail between his legs and fled Twitter when he did, lest Twitter rolls the feature out to other bullshitters.

realDonaldTrump

realDonaldTrump What channel nine said was bullshit, they took a few words from what Trump said and twisted it.

realDonaldTrump Oh ok so advising to inject disinfectant is 'political opinion'. Right. auspol AuspolSoCorrupt corruption murdochisacancer BoycottMurdochMedia BoycottMurdoch uspol uspolitics TrumpIsAnIdiot

realDonaldTrump Look at the uproar now that the truth is a factor. Last thing idiots like Kenny want....to actually have to deal with facts.

realDonaldTrump Supporting Trump is denying reality. He forces his 'rusted on' supporters into tortuous & irrational justifications. I despair how our politicians are corrupted to serve his purpose despite being to the detriment of Australia. USA. Australia & the world needs better leaders.

realDonaldTrump 'TARGETING' You mean 'reporting'? Something you stopped doing years ago before you turned to churning out Propaganda. weather16342362

realDonaldTrump Half of what comes out of POTUS’s mouth is BS, the other half is down right lies! An indisputable compulsive liar being fact checked 🤭who would have thought? 😉

realDonaldTrump DumbDonald provides his own fakenews & msm just report his shite

realDonaldTrump Is Twitter going to fact check the shite that eminates from the mouths of other politicians and celebrity types who think they are expert on evetything 🤔

realDonaldTrump But but.. Chris Kenny and ARE the 'Fake News'. Unless he's talking about the real news networks and no, couldn't be bothered finding out what the dipshit is on about.

realDonaldTrump

ChrisKenny is irrelevant. He’s a hard-right propagandist spouting extremist propaganda on the Murdoch propaganda platform SkyNewsAust.. often propping up the corrupt US president. Why is an Aust commentator pandering to trump’s political agenda? ! auspol

realDonaldTrump Trump wants to inject bleach and has killed 100,000 people for greed and stupidity. 6 times bankrupt loser

realDonaldTrump It's hilarious that the fact-checking system relies on the same outlets that have been so thoroughly discredited.

realDonaldTrump Kenny the Coward knows all about fake news.

realDonaldTrump When will people wake up?

realDonaldTrump When a world leader with significant Influence tweets conspiracies, then it’s important the Tweets are flagged. Trump generates & retweets as much fake news as some media outlets. The difference is that some are more likely to follow him blindly- like drinking Clorox.

realDonaldTrump Heaven forbid the leader of the free world gets fact checked on his recidivous behaviour of spewing grotesque lies, falsehoods, conspiracy theories & slander.. of his own constituency no less.

realDonaldTrump A) A science / evidence-based fact-check on Kenny would be like manna from heaven. B) Fact checking Trump is like locking the stable gate after the horse has bolted, many fact-checkers have already documented over 16,000 lies by Trump over the years, it's his Modus Operandi.

realDonaldTrump Trump 2020 👍

realDonaldTrump Chris Kenny - one of Murdoch's favorite cock-holsters - decries Twitter's fact-checking of prevaricating POTUS. Considering Kenny's faux-outrage and baseline objection to verifiable truth or falsity tells anyone with half a brain that his is the fakest of fake news.

realDonaldTrump Sky News host Chris Kenny is nothing more than a pair of legs emerging from Trump's arse, he has crawled so far up there.

realDonaldTrump RACIST FALUN GONG CULT WHO BELIEV BLACK PEOPLE ARE AN ABOMINATION FORGOTTEN BY THE GODS & MIXED MARRIED PEOPLE SHOULD BE ERADICATED SUPPORT TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN.

realDonaldTrump This is worrying! I call for realDonaldTrump to deregister Twitter if they continue to “misbehave”. At least suspend it until the election is over! Cop that for fairness!!

Trump unleashes 'provocative' Twitter rampage | Sky News AustraliaSky News contributor Michael Ware says Twitter is a “signature style” of communication for US President Donald Trump, but his rampage at the weekend was more 'provocative' than usual. \n\nDuring Memorial Day weekend, the President tweeted about an incident in 2001 involving former Republican congressman Joe Scarborough where a 28-year-old female intern working for him was found dead after collapsing and hitting her head on her desk. \n\nMr Trump called for further investigation into the incident saying, “keep digging, use forensic geniuses”. \n\nMr Ware told Sky News Mr Trump was “virtually accusing [Scarborough] of murder”. \n\nIn response to complaints from the deceased woman’s family, Twitter’s head apologised, saying the President did not violate any regulations, but they were planning to “very soon change those terms of use'. \n\nImage: Getty realDonaldTrump Twitter didn’t think trump violated terms?! WTF! If it was anyone else saying the same things, Twitter would kick them off!!! Double standard much?! realDonaldTrump While discussing the state of age care I tweeted 'All you can do is hope you die young' in an attempt to expres my fear of ending up in care .I was made to delete the tweet or lose my account. This man is allowed to spew out his vile poison and what is twitters response? SHAME. realDonaldTrump Yes, but it worked didn't it? Media is now full of his tweets, abuse, insults, attacks, and that means 100,000 dead Americans takes a back-seat for a day or two. As the outrage subsides, Trump will tweet something else, and the game goes on, and the media follow like sheep
