What really powers the media’s fake news scandal machine.

Fake news is profitable.

The New York Times hit piece on the Comey memo earned the paper its most concurrent readers per second. Pretty good for a piece about a piece of paper that the leftist paper had never even seen and which was, supposedly, described to it by one of Comey’s associates.

But that didn’t stop it from racking up over 6 million views.

Media fake news isn’t just an agenda. It’s enormously profitable. Hit pieces powered by anonymous sources bring in over 100,000 readers in an age when live is king.

Fake news is profitable and it is an aid in cleaning house at the WH, which should have been done in February.There should be no remaining WH staffers at any level that worked in the Barak Hussein WH. The lack oc continuity would be a bit disruptive but all this leakage is pretty disruptive, too. Firing everyone would have got a flurry of indignation and the background noise of impeachimpeachimpeach, but that is not specific to any one event, large or small.
