Where “Fake News” Meets Real News
Canada Free Press ^ | 12/06/16 | Roger Aronoff

Now that Democrats have sort of moved on from blaming the Electoral College and James Comey and the Russians, they’re absolutely convinced that ‘fake news’ turned the election against Hillary Clinton

With the media in disarray, even in meltdown, over their failure to prevent Donald Trump from winning the presidency last month, the issue of “fake news” has become an urgent concern. What is really of greater concern? Fake websites that are established to make money and discredit their political opponents? Or is it the establishment media that are pushing a political agenda, while claiming to adhere to high standards of journalism?

An armed man recently traveled from North Carolina to search for sexually exploited minors at a pizza shop in Washington, DC—he had been taken in by a phony Internet conspiracy theory known as PizzaGate. This incident has fed the so-called mainstream media with additional reasons to publish stories highlighting the dangers of fake news and online conspiracies.

Remember, Project Veritas videos and Planned Parenthood videos were declared fake and “discredited” by the MSM also.

I am sorry. All these Email for the Hillary Camp are real.....They have not denied them. All the code words are real. They are trying to defect the story to protect the system.

Liberals created this sewer.

Their ‘everything is relative’ mantra has come back to bite them in the a*&.

They LOVE their ‘damn the absolute’ and their situational ethics so much that they have conditioned generations of voters to accept ONLY what comes out of the DNC and the MSM ...NO MATTER how irrelevant, illogical, impossible it is! Voters no longer look to their own common sense but gulp the Liberal kool aid like mana from heaven.
