Angela Merkel has said public opinion is being “manipulated” on the internet, claiming “fake news” websites and “trolls” could influence the approaching German elections.

Gee, I wonder where she got that from.

More and more winning. Umm, madame chancellor, I would like to remind you of something. Some time ago, it was reported that US spy agencies had hacked your accounts. You might want to watch Wikileaks in the coming months to see how much of it is leaked.

I’m going to imagine that if any of that is leaked that you’ll be wishing for the good old days of fake news and trolls.

> What is wrong with leftists like Merkel and Hillary Clinton? They both want to import massive hordes of immigrant Muslims into their countries. Are leftists that stupid , deranged, brainwashed or just pure evil?

Satan on earth Soros pays them well to destroy their own nations. Yes they are allot the above and greedy.

Someone needs to get soros and put him on trial for war and treason against America. Soros is a war criminal . Hunt him down and bring him in for trial

[bgill]

Who knew Fake Hellary and Troll Megyn were in Germany?

[HotHunt]

The progressive, Marxist Left and GlobalizationBots are all now in sync in using this false excuse why they are losing....all the fake news and internet trolls are out to get them.

Welcome to OUR New World Order, Angela. People like her and Obama are on the losing side of history.

[PA Engineer]

The globalist are all following the same playbook.

[Terry L Smith]

Angela Merkel, the German Hildebeest copy-cat, strikes again, with another comment of wisdom.

[eyeamok]

Can’t she just BAN CNN??

[matt1234]

Globalism requires global talking points.

[PGalt]

LOL! Fake news favorable to fräulein

[dfwgator]

Scratch a German, find a Nazi underneath.

Nah, she's a Stasi.

[GnuThere]

No kidding, they are saturating with it.
I don’t understand how this “fake news” theme got started - Hillary/Obama, Soros, the Times, or what?

[rlmorel]

"...the German chancellor was also heckled and labelled a “disgrace” as she claimed to be “fighting illegal immigration” in Germany. “Something has changed. As globalization has marched on, debate is taking place in a completely new media environment. Opinions aren’t formed the way they were 25 years ago..."

Very true. We don't just get spoon-fed the news from the likes of Dan Rather, and we don't get force fed demonstrably false statements from public officials like her.

[GraceG]

The fake news is coming from the German citizen’s own eyes as they see the islamic refugee invaders tear apart their country...

[meyer]

In the German tradition started in the 1930s, politicians rely on Goebbels to keep the people in line.

Sounds a lot like our MSM these days.

[Kozy]

I have identified fake or sources. Here they are: NYT, that is a global fake news, WaPo, CNN,ABC,CBS, NBC. Ban these fake news sources. Hope this Merkel out.

[Colorado Doug]

They follow the exact same playbook.

[SaxxonWoods]

Happy Thanksgiving to you too.

I’m sure Merkel believes events actually happening in Germany can’t have anything to do with election outcomes. When you are afraid to go out freely you don’t need news to tell you what’s going on.

[Lopeover]

What else is the this crazy leftist fascist going to say? Any self reflection on of the facts on her part with respect to the policies of her party would not be politically correct.
