Journalists have always been liars, even back during the days of Randolph Hearst. The biggest lie they ever told was convincing so much of the public that the days of yellow journalism were over and that the news became impartial and objective.

NBC = Comcast = American enemy more dangerous to the Republic than Russia or Iran

Fake News started, worldwide, during the beginning of the Worldwide MSM’s existence!

I was just reading about Hearst on This Day in History. He tried to stop Citizen Kane.

From back with the Vietnam War, until now, the Fake News expansion is amazing. Nothing is Real News now. Nothing.

Our Fake News now is all foreign propaganda to weaken us for invasion.

Am I to understand that this is the fraudulent memo?

As I remember, the give-away was the then-nonexistent “superscript TH” attached to the unit numerical descriptor “187th?”

Those superscripts did not exist in Microsoft “Word” until the ‘80s or ‘90s? Correct?

What’s Brian doing these days?

Shoot, he's front and center on MSNBC.

For him and his cabal it doesn't matter if the news is fake. What matters is if it SHOULD be true, from their point of view.
