Hillary Comes Out of Her Lair, Mindlessly Parrots ‘Fake News’ Warnings
American Spectator, the ^ | 09 December 2016

Posted on 12/11/2016 4:14:46 PM PST by Lorianne

Granny’s back.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called “fake news” a danger that must be addressed quickly, in a rare public appearance on Thursday, a month after she lost the presidential election in a campaign marked by a flood of such propaganda.

“We must stand up for our democracy,” Clinton said during a tribute to retiring Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid, referring to what she called “the epidemic of malicious fake news and false propaganda that flooded social media over the past year.”

You mean fake news stories like the one about you using your private server for emails about yoga and wedding planning?

It has been a bit nauseating watching various entities withing the mainstream media jump on this “fake news” bandwagon recently, trying to act as if they are above the fray. Much of the fake news that was disseminate during the campaign came from Mrs. Clinton’s mouth (or campaign) and was dutifully repeated as fact by the very institutions now decrying the “epidemic”.

Trust in the legacy media is in the toilet. Could it be because of their fake news? Hmmm?

Granny Pickles doesn’t have a lair, she just emerges
from the slimy cess pool of leftist grifters.

Real leftists use them and throw them away like
used toilet paper.

And how about fake news such as the ongoing media propaganda about black men shot by white cops for no reason?

What about the fake story about Michael Brown having hands up don’t shoot, but the liberals presented this as fact?? And this fake news led directly to violence and rioting and destruction in Ferguson.

Or do liberals not count these planted stories as fake news, as long as it supports the liberal narrative???

There are a whole lot of interests out there that spent a WHOLE LOT of money to buy access who are now completely out in the cold.
I’m surprised she emerges at all.

Fox News and Free Republic must be high on their list of "fake news" because we don't buy their party line propaganda.

Trust me, to them we are enemies of the state.

You nailed it. Real news promotes the leftist agenda. Anything else is fake.

Fake News like Benghazi being about a video about muhammad?

And, by the way, wasn’t the CIA behind the story at first?

This is anything but mindless.

She’s being coached exactly what to say.

They haven’t given up yet.

Until after the Electoral College results are in on the 19th, I’m not comfortable.
