Digital Lock Down: Google and Facebook Take Aim At ‘Fake News’ Websites: “The Establishment Is...

In the runup to the 2016 election Matt Drudge linked to reports that Hillary Clinton’s health was faltering. For weeks the ‘rumors’ were denied by mainstream media, especially left-leaning web sites.

As the election drew closer, The Huffington Post and other partisan web sites claimed that Clinton had unbeatable lead. On November 4th, just days before the election, Huff Post went so far as to suggest that Clinton had a 98% chance of winning the election. All the while, alternative media researchers, journalists, commentators and bloggers were highlighting the fact that polls actually showed a dead even race, with Trump leading in some cases.

When Wikileaks released tens of thousands of emails, the propaganda went into full swing with claims that the emails sourced from the DNC and Clinton Campaign were fake, even though numerous third-party organizations certified their validity.

If you were to ask the experts, Drudge Report, Infowars, Breitbart, The Daily Sheeple, Stone Cold Truth, SGT Report, Alt-Market, Daisy Luther, TruthStream Media and scores of other alternative news web sites were peddling fiction. In fact, “peddling fiction” is the exact terminology used by President Obama to marginalize the detailed economic reports being disseminated by Alternative Financial web sites like Zero Hedge.

The fiction narrative, first championed by entrenched media personalities, was pushed across social media by millions of anxious Hillary fans. According to them, everything coming from independent media was a lie – it was fake.

As it turns out, Clinton’s health problems were confirmed when she was recorded stumbling and wobbling following a September 11th ceremony in New York. The Wikileaks were, in fact legit. Trump won by an electoral landslide. And the economy continues its downward spiral.

One report after another being disseminated by what left-leaning pundits call “fake news websites”

I think her health was a big issue and I think it will become pretty clear now that they don’t need the facade.

Let’s start a poll on the date she assumes room temperature.

We could even turn it into a horse race: Who goes first, Hillary or Ginsburg?

So if we can get corporate media to eliminate “hate speech” and check with Media Matters for “fake stories” we achieve government censorship of the news without any direct ties to government, whether it is the Obama shadow government, US Federal Government, the new Purple Revolution, or the Clinton shadow government. Win-Win-Win!

Plus the sheeple are conditioned to reject certain news sources and to automatically accept news from others.

What needs to be considered is that it may not have been Hillary that was sick. It may have been her ‘double’.

This is a real issue. It’s not Drudge and Breitbart. I’m regularly seeing entirely made up stories on my facebook feed, shared by my friends that think they are real. They look like real news sites but they are making up inflammatory headlines to get clicks.

Who decides what is a fake news site?

This could be a ticket to tyrannical censorship.

I think that we can all agree that the New York Times & Washington Post operate fake news sites. But that does not mean that it would be Constitutional to shut them down. There are many people, who despite the mountain of evidence that they are fake news sites, would draw the wrong conclusion from shutting them down, even if the Court's would allow it.

The only remedy is to arm other sites with the evidence against the integrity of such fake news sites, and launch a major campaign to expose the flagrant dishonesty of such fake news sites.

Me too. My SIL, a Trump supporter posts anything good about Trump or bad about Hillary, true or not and my sister does the same only she’s a Hillidiot.

I don’t know how many times Betty White has died.

Yes. But the difference is totally lost on the those sitting at the desks that control what appears as news in the two sham “newspapers,” referred to.
