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.

Sorry, I cannot seem to get Zero Hedge links to post for some reason. I have no idea why. Here is the title of the article:

Washington Post Names Drudge, Zero Hedge, & Ron Paul As Anti-Clinton “Sophisticated Russian Propaganda Tools”

I wouldn’t say they’re fake news, but Zero Hedge is definitely a rip-off site.

I find Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge to be a smart man, well spoken, and able to write fresh and insightful content every day. He had an excellent and innovative explanation for both Clintons wearing the color purple at her concession speech on 11/9.

Explain why you call it a “rip off site.”

correct.

Drudge does not “create” content, only post other’s articles that are worth reading. That is a major accomplishment.

The Whiney Butt Leftist, need to go have a colonoscopy and shut their trap up.

“”He had an excellent and innovative explanation for both Clintons wearing the color purple at her concession speech on 11/9.””

What was the reason? It sure seemed peculiar and pretty obvious but why did they do it?

The gasping, deluded death throes of an atrophied, diseased organ in the body of the globalist NWO........

And you snatch your rattling last breaths

with deep-sea-diver sounds,

and the flowers bloom like

madness in the spring........

“It sure seemed peculiar and pretty obvious but why did they do it?”

It was a ‘dog whistle’ to their hardcore leftist minions to let loose the dogs of war on the opposition.

Within 24 hours there were anti-Trump riots across the country.

The Wash.Post article (also propagated by PBS) is, ironically, itself a prime example of FAKE NEWS! Check this critique by Fortune Magazine:
