We Tracked Down A Fake-News Creator In The Suburbs. Here's What We Learned

I tracked down a fake news site too. It's address is 1111 North Capitol Street, NE in Washington, D.C.. Hey! it's NPR!

They obviously cannot be trusted in any kind of civilian capacity.

The facilities that exist? I was talking about a radical change in NPR/PBS personnel and mission statements.

If you were posting that the American government in all its non-military departments cannot be trusted to do better than in the recent past, once again you and I are at variance of opinions, to put it mildly.

Then we’re at variance, as you put it, I can’t feed everyone, but every time there’s a reason to go to the polls, here, there’s a ballot initiative for a levy, or a bond measure, or something to take more money I work for, and give it to the public sector pigs who just can’t get enough cream and apples.

What makes you think some kind of change in “mission statement” is going to make these tax-funded pukes fail to realize that they are at odds with me and the rest of America? Where do you think these Hillary fanatics come from?

You have successfully communicated to me how unhappy you are with your life in America. Because of your posts today, Thanksgiving Day, I believe you are severely distrustful of civilian government and it's part in America's future.

We part company here, Empire_of_Liberty.

Fairwell, then. I think I know where you are coming from.

I am hopeful that Donald Trump, not being from and in Government his whole life knows where America’s prosperity comes from and that things can improve.

You have failed to communicate to me any need to continue the unconstitutional funding of Government propaganda through NPR and PBS. This election has brought much of this to the public eye, which is the reason for my original posting on this subject. Perhaps this, and other abuses of the providers of America’s prosperity can be reversed, even without your help.

Dan Ratherbiased ran with some fake memos on SeeBS News.

Time-Lies-HBO just did a biopic to say he was wronged for getting canned for faking news.

Newspapers photoshop 2 images to make news photos.

Debate questions are given to Hillary before townhalls/debates.

Journolist members colluded to give the illusion of an objective press freely questioning politicians on the Left.

Fake fake fake.

FUNPR

SNL is fake news too. “I can see Russkies from mah house!”

[Secret Agent Man]

So hes the journolista equivalent of a hate crime faker.

I had to look it up. The definition in a sentence is hilarious.

“A southern colloqial for a severe case of pubic crabs.
The bitch’s crotch crickets were so bad, her gynocologyst had to call Orkin”.

I was one who fell for the Denver Guardian story for a few minutes - didn’t do my due diligence to discover that they had an entry form where anyone can post anything, which no reputable newspaper would have.

Free Republic gets these stories because we trust our readers to catch them and pull them. Still, for the few minutes they survive, someone could screenshot Free Republic and embarrass us. All part of the dirty tricks squad.

Good stuff

That's why I've asked that the titles be modified.

It's normal for satirical articles to be labeled as [SATIRE]. It's also customary to add [BARF ALERT] to certain articles that are cringe-worthy.

By putting [HOAX] in the title, it remains -- but is quickly identifiable as fake. And, if someone does a title search, they find the article -- and don't repost it again.

I’m beginning to feel that way about family. We have smug doctors who look down upon everyone else as non-scientific, and too stupid to know any better. Effm, they’re too stupid to realize they’ve been indoctrinated.

Had one doctor and her husband treat us that way at Thanksgiving. Treats us as if we are the Griswolds from the movie Christmas vacation. To be specific, I think I've got the cousin Eddie slot. LOL.

[King Moonracer]

Being doctors gives them messianic complexes, and we should just live with their pronouncements on life and death. Effm.

But what's really funny is that the Lefties believe that a fake news site, created by one of their own as an anti-Trump plot, backfired and cost Hillary the election!

Either they are, A) Wrong and therefore deluded, or B) Correct, meaning they got steamrolled with the worst example of Karmaic backlash they've ever seen. Heh heh!

The relevant timeline of this story, if you can believe those parts, goes like this:

• 40-yr old leftie activist plans to embarrass Trump supporters bigtime by creating fake news that they will embrace and believe, and then yell "Ha! Idiots!! You believed me! Comrades: Spread this story far & wide that Trumpists are naive & stupid!"
• Several of his and his associates' fake news stories - in particular the one about the FBI Agent's murder - are spectacularly successful in garnering ReTweets and FB Likes, driving many millions of viewers to his website(s).
• The ad revenue from the enormous web traffic is quickly filling up his and his co-writers' bank accounts.
• If he implements the original plan at this point, and shuts down his website with the mother of all Har-Har-Har's!! it could jeopardize his new-found stream of income.
• So his fake news site continues on and on. Google stopped their ads on his website, but other ad-providers quickly stepped in. He salves his conscience with the fig-leaf that he *did* announce in a public forum or two that the news was all fake. So there! But the website stays up, and he's getting richer.
• The MSM claims that this anti-Hillary fake news was so believable that it riled up Trump supporters to do more, and angered & energized Trump-leaners who otherwise might not have bothered to vote.
• And this allegedly cost HRH HRC the election.

Like I said, major Karma Backlash if it's true. I wish it were, but have my doubts.

In particular, his laughably false claim that he didn't do a mirror site for HRC supporters because HillaryBots are too smart to be taken in by Fake News, a claim not challenged by the NPR reporter I notice, calls into question the believability of anything he or the reporter says.
