Hillary and Fake News
American Thinker ^ | December 12, 2016 | Daniel John Sobieski

Posted on 12/12/2016 5:54:33 AM PST by Kaslin

Hillary Clinton, who survived sniper fire in Bosnia to run for the presidency, called on Thursday for a bipartisan fight to end an epidemic of “fake news” she now blames for her defeat by Donald Trump.

Hillary is a consummate serial liar. From lying to the parents of the four Benghazi dead in front of their sons’ caskets, repeating the infamous video lie, of which she arguably was the architect, to dodging sniper fire in Bosnia, to being named for Sir Edmund Hillary years before he climbed Mt. Everest, to her claim she made $100,000 in the futures market almost literally overnight just from reading the Wall Street Journal.

Her call for a war on “fake news” is laughable. As Politico reports:

"This is not about politics or partisanship," Clinton said during remarks at a tribute to retiring Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.). "Lives are at risk."

Clinton's reference to the "real-world consequences" of fake news comes days after a gunman briefly occupied a Washington pizza restaurant mentioned in false reports of a child sex-trafficking ring linked to the former secretary of state. But Clinton went beyond domestic sources of fake news to decry "foreign propaganda," touting a bipartisan effort in Congress to "boost the government's response" to it.

Hillary must have serious psychological issues. If she was a normal person she would realize that the populace was well aware of her past deceptions and graft — part of the real reasons for her loss to Trump — and would not continue to bring this up lest she be thought a hypocrite. She is the last person on earth that should be out talking about the ‘fake news’ concept.

...a tribute to retiring Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.)...would consist of a toilet with an image of his face as a target for any incoming.

What I would really like to see is for Obama to declare the election invalid and appoint himself King, or anoint Clinton the winner. Please, oh please just go ahead and make our day....

Clinton and her lapdog media just can’t accept the fact that she lost, fair and square. They have to come up with an excuse, whether it’s #fakenews or the Russians, it has to be something other than the fact that Clinton was a terrible candidate who really should have lost in a popular vote landslide (and may have if it wasn’t for #fakevotes).

The #fakenews media, i.e., CNN, MSNBC,NYT, WP, etc., ran so many #fakepolls showing Clinton way ahead, and they campaigned so hard for her, they can’t believe they were not able to manipulate the populace like they did for 0bama in 08 and 12.

Now they are angry, and determined to undermine Trump every step of the say. He sees him as being successful in portraying them as being dishonest and one-sided so they are going to display just how dishonest and one-sided they really are, so look out for a stream of never ending attacks over the next 4 years.

What is the Difference between “Fake News” and a bold Face Lie”
Fake News= SNL skit.......Bold Faced Lie= Hillary talking

For Example: Hillary lied about Benghazi, lied about White Water, Vince Foster and to top it all off....lied about Her own name....she said many times she was named after Edmund Hillary years before anyone had ever heard of his name....now this is BOLD. Hillary is simply a liar.

I think it was William Safire who called her a congenital liar back in the 90s.

Makes little difference at this point thanks to Harry Reid.
He’s the one who nuked cloture.
Reid threw that rule out the window a few years back.
Trump will have his way.
And look at the seats coming up in 2020.
