Washington Post Names Drudge, Zero Hedge, & Ron Paul As (trunc)
Zero Hedge ^ | 25 November 2016 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 11/26/2016 3:58:29 PM PST by Lorianne

The desperate flailing of a mainstream-media struggling through the five stages of grief continues as no lesser unbiased foundation of the fourth estate than The Washington Post pushes ahead with its "fake news, blame the Russians" narrative for why their candidate failed so miserably.

Citing "two teams of independent researchers" (who surely have a substantial libel litigation provision) who found "Russia’s increasingly sophisticated propaganda machinery... echoed and amplified right-wing sites across the Internet as they portrayed Clinton as a criminal," the Jeff Bezos-owned website names Drudge, Zero Hedge, and The Ron Paul Institute and countless other outlets among the "useful idiots" that true American patriots should be wary of.

I saw the post. I’m trying to elicit an answer.

Zerohedge varies from useful to weird. Drudge is usually useful for some links at least. Both are more better than the Washington post - Pravda without the brains

I’m sure everyone on this site recognizes that NTY, WaPo, and ABCNNBCBS are the real fake news. They only fact check when a story doesn’t fit their ‘narrative’.

The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.

Parent companies include: Disney, Comcast, Time Warner, and now Amazon.

I agree that itis good when we recognize fake news. It's when we can't recognize fake news delivered by the protagonist in the movie Fight Club that bothers me now and then.

What not post the full untruncated title in the excerpt portion of your post so one doesn’t have to link to the WaWaPo to see it?

“I find Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge to be a smart man”

“Tyler Durden” is a humorous pseudonym for several different writers at zero hedge, and was inspired by one of the dissociated personalities (played by Brad Pitt) of the multiple-personality, mentally-ill main character in the movie “Fight Club”.

Did you have any doubt where the Left’s alt-right witch hunt would land? I did not. Anyone who does not promote the left in an election or in agenda is alt-right.

Thanks. Having never seen the movie, I’m at a disadvantage there. Well, they sure have a bunch of smart, anonymous writers!

That’s right; these liars that pushed a fake recovery, unemployment numbers, etc. got crushed on election day. If things were 1/2 as good as they said, Hillary would have trounced Trump; fortunately, enough voters in the right places wouldn’t accept the enemedia BS...

Drudge is a news aggregator, he amasses links to other articles dealing with a theme or themes daily, nothing more than that. What they’re calling “fake news” is often their very own MSM news articles, just placed in a context that they don’t like. How stupid is that?

If there is only one “Tyler Durden” he is the most prolific writer ever. I suspect it is a team effort with great editing.

This was apparently the last thread posted from ZH, at least according to what comes up in a search. Jim Robinson himself posted a link to that site in this very thread, and yet, now the site is banned. Both FR and ZH are concerned with government corruption, so the ban makes no sense to me.
