If you were told reading Wikileaks is illegal, you were listening to fake news

[jsanders2001]

I see the MSM is putting out fake stories about where the fake stories really came from (them). Damn I bet it’s hard to be a propagandist arm of the WH and keep your stories straight. One thing I really despise about the MSM is how dumb they think people are. Well maybe they are are almost half right...

If you read Huffington Post, you are reading a FAKE NEWS SITE:

When Russia did it in the 1980s with the Nuclear Freeze movement, the Washington Post was a willing participant. No stories about Soviet lies and manipulations back then.

Yep.

Trying to cover their butts when the pizza sauce hits the fan.

““Fake News” - the new rallying cry of the left. Pay attention, fellow Freepers...”

This is a REAL danger to Democracy, folks.

The DNC Plan is to justify censorship of opposing viewpoints across ALL platforms. They are livid that our media exposed them for the shills, PAID SHILLS, in many instances, that they are.

And there are literally BILLIONS of dollars at stakes for the people who control the big media conglomerates.

For a flood of fake news I would have expected at least one solid example with exact text, source and a real debunking. Instead I get a vague "Russians created fake news" without any proof.

And I don't think the Washington Post thinks the D+9 polls the MSM loved to be the fake news in question.

Social Justice crusader Father Coughlin was against it after that.

I did what I could, I made and spread mostly humorous meme images... some were quite funny...a few were very serious. It was my tiny contribution to help save the world.

And thank you for doing it

The “fake news” concept sure seems recent, but it’s getting the downhill snowball effect. Of course everyone (I’d assumed) with some web experience knows you can’t believe everything you read on the internet. There was a time, however, when people did believe that if it was in print, it must be true.

The “fake news” invented by democrat “experts”. When the whining is being done by “experts”, then you know it’s bs.

print journalism is still struggling with the legitimacy of internet news. print journalism is decreasing in importance and has not hit bottom yet, due to the internet. as a result, print journalists periodically attack the internet’s legitimacy due to one premise or another over the years.

So the Washington Post is trying to tell us there’s nothing wrong with Hillary’s brain after all those “I don’t recalls?”
