Everything the NY times and the Washington Post ever wrote about her and her husband was “fake news”. This old bat should be put in a straight jacket pronto.

Off topic, but on another thread, somebody referred to Hillary “pickles” Clinton. I had to LOL at the reference to her opening a jar of pickles to prove how healthy she is.

Which was a staged fake event. Speaking of fake news......

Never mind the pushers of that false narrative, whom she met with back in August and October. I don’t think it helped her election chances.

You mean like the fake video that was responsible for the attack on our embassy? I’m sure she mentioned that, right?

I remember an old saying that I never hear anymore:

“Don’t believe everything you read in the papers.”

Astonishing as it may be, this concept applies to TV, Radio, and Internet as well.

Since we’re about 100 years out from WWI, good to mention some fake news concerning that - it turns out the Lusitania WAS actually carrying munitions for the allies. Classifying that fact helped rally popular support for US entry into the war.

We are losing control of the definition of “fake news”
Just like the way “swift boating” aquired a contorted liberal definition.

She is talking about the uniparty media, no? /s

The ones that fed her the questions beforehand?

The ones that ignored her health problems?

THe ones that when one asked a mild question she throws a rant about them tanking her candidacy and hanging from gallows?

The ones that went over 90% negative coverage of her final opponent?

THe ones that published fake crap about russian hackers tampering our election?

Those fake media folks?

Like the “fake news” about Hillary landing under sniper fire and running with her head down?

Oh wait we heard it out of her own mouth! So where does the fake news come from?
