Shocking??? Puuleeease. DemocRATS will do ANYTHING to obtain and maintain power. I remember a San Francisco democRAT said, about elections, ‘if we don’t win, we don’t eat.’. Obtaining a real job, earning money the old fashioned way, is anathema to them. They, and everyone around them, are so utterly corrupt, they believe everyone is corrupt. For many, the ends justify the means. As Rush used to say, there are no rules, laws, regulations or statutes in their world, just traditions (KKK) (Anti-Semitism) (Racism) (Abortion). They believe all money is theirs, and should be portioned out accordingly. Be a good little commie, and you might get a little more. Rise up within the RAT world, and your ‘portion’ could be millions. Just a few months ago Nancy Pelousy stated that the insider trading she uses to make millions was just fine for her. When challenged about it, she openly stated she would continue. She knows that there is no ‘ethics’ investigation in her future since the RATS have no ethics.

51 Fake News sites?

There are far more than that.

They've already been caught. Ezra Klein, the Vox Media Editor, created the Journolist back in 2007. These Propagandists would align their stories to promote their Leftists agenda. Since then, other lists such as Cabalist and GameJournoPros have been exposed.

Theses companies violate anti-trust laws and are long overdue to be dismantled.

News you can’t use. None of the links I followed gave the list of the 51 websites. Axios only mentions three by name: “A network of at least 51 locally branded news sites has popped up since last year under names like the Milwaukee Metro Times, the Mecklenburg Herald and the Tri-City Record.”

The “Who, what, when, where, why, ...” type of reporting is certainly dead in this post-fact, post-reason, post-truth world.
