Out in Phoenix, Arizona, Paul Horner still can't wrap his mind around it. One day he's just a 38-year-old Bernie Sanders fan making up fake news and spreading it far and wide on the Internet, hauling in up to $10,000 a month in ad revenue from phony click-bait stories about gang-rape parties in India and the mascot for a Christian anti-masturbation group being arrested at Sea World for getting it on with itself, along with a bunch of political smoke and mirrors. But then, two weeks ago, the Washington Post reported that his particular line of bull, as promulgated mainly through Facebook, may have played a big part in getting Donald Trump elected to the highest office in the land. "I think Trump is in the White House because of me," Horner told the paper. Suddenly, all hell broke lose and now everyone wants a piece of him. "Inside Edition, CBS News, ABC, the local affiliates, like way more than 60 interview requests," he reports, adding that he's decided to not talk to almost anyone until the situation calms down. "I mean, the Tonight Show used that Post quote and was attacking me because of it. But I didn't mean it like I was trying to get him in the White House," he says. "I was trying to keep him out of it!”

And, if this is all true, ha-ha. What a burn for the Bernie Bro if indeed his fake news helped Trump win.
It's Rolling Stone: probably not true.
That’s why I wrote “if”.
Oh my goodness !!!

The MSM is angry someone is stealing their gig
Erik,
It’s really about trust. We had none in you and yours so we are trying Donald.
How do those outrageous fake stories help Trump get elected?
Re : Post # 8
“How do those outrageous fake stories help Trump get elected?”
That’s what I was thinking.
See Post 5! That’s all it’s about!
This fake news twaddle is an uptown emanation of ghetto legend.
Yes, it was silly made-up stories that got Trump elected - not that he was legitimately elected. After all, the majority of voters wanted Hillary. It was the archiac racist slave-owning Electoral College that overturned the will of the people!
Trump’s illegitimate election had nothing to do with a nation-wide rejection of the failure’s of Obama’s socialist policies and a widespread horror over the loss of American prestige and sovereignty since 2008.

Good sarcasm.
So how is this guy different from the mainstream media?
Shouldn’t this guy be in jail right next to the man who did the video that caused the completely spontaneous attack on the US Consulate in Benghazi?
The Rolling Stone talking about “fake news”?
What’s that smell? Did someone leave the irony on?
Good one.
RS won’t even admit it.
Three million illegal votes for Hillary is also fake news, provided by DJT.
A Republican described as anti-immigration, where they leave out the “illegal” qualifier; is fake news from the MSM.
Anyone can play this game.
The Rolling Stone made Dzhokhar Tsarnaev into a rock star causing many lib women to fall in love with him.
