Washington Post Names Drudge, Zero Hedge, & Ron Paul As (trunc)
Zero Hedge ^ | 25 November 2016 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 11/26/2016 3:58:29 PM PST by Lorianne

The desperate flailing of a mainstream-media struggling through the five stages of grief continues as no lesser unbiased foundation of the fourth estate than The Washington Post pushes ahead with its "fake news, blame the Russians" narrative for why their candidate failed so miserably.

Citing "two teams of independent researchers" (who surely have a substantial libel litigation provision) who found "Russia’s increasingly sophisticated propaganda machinery... echoed and amplified right-wing sites across the Internet as they portrayed Clinton as a criminal," the Jeff Bezos-owned website names Drudge, Zero Hedge, and The Ron Paul Institute and countless other outlets among the "useful idiots" that true American patriots should be wary of.

ZeroHedge really is a Russian disinformation operation. Its bosses understand the necessity of being entertaining, but I wouldn’t trust anything it says and have tried to avoid the place for years.

Democrats never accept blame for their failures, from small ones to catastrophes like the election.
It’s a symptom of mental disease.

They are Royalty. “Clinton Inc.” was finding itself going out-of-business. They were rolling out Clinton, Inc., The Sequel.

On That 'Concession' Speech (aka Meet The New Clinton Inc.)

Citing "two teams of independent researchers"

I read that article, I thought carefully. I could not see where they named any one of the researchers.

I agree with you. I have found ZeroHedge to be a very serious website. Who was saying otherwise and why?

Seeing that “Tyler Durden” is a movie character, and multiple writers write under his “name” at ZeroHedge, what part of his split personality do you like?

It will be interesting to see how the Tyler Durdens at ZeroHedge accomodate the Trump presidency.

Drudge should respond by cutting off any links to Compost content which would probably cut their web traffic by 2/3rds...
