John Podesta: ‘Alt-Right’ Media Like Sean Hannity Colluding with Russia
Breitbart ^ | 05/23/2017 | Charlie Spiering

Posted on 05/23/2017 2:56:09 PM PDT by ForYourChildren

Hillary Clinton’s former campaign chief John Podesta attacked the First Amendment rights of the free press as he continued to spin his conspiracy theory of Russia colluding with American news websites to damage Democrats.

During a conversation with the Washington Post’s Karen Tumulty, he cited the “participation and the support of the alt-right media,” naming “guys like Sean Hannity” and “disgusting” Newt Gingrich for helping spread “fake news” to hurt Democrats. He specifically criticized Hannity and Gingrich for asking questions about DNC staffer Seth Rich’s murder and whether or not it had a connection with Wikileaks.

Podesta explained that it was one more example of how the Russians were “very active in propagating and distributing fake news, working with these alt-right sites in conjunction with them.” He also cited an “echo system” created by the Russians that raised the social media profile of articles that were damaging to Democrats.

He pointed out that “legitimate sites” like the Washington Post and the New York Times suffered, as other “alt-right” websites got more traction during the election.

Sounds like Pedo-sta is squirming.

I hope Sean stays strong, he is under tremendous pressure. But he knows the truth.

Modesta has completely lost his mind. I think he is afraid he will eventually be indicted on election fraud

I can hardly compose myself long enough to write this response. I'm so broken up over the fate of the WP, the NYT, and now the WSJ.

As if!

Those publications are what National Enquirer used to be. They have become National Lampoon. Idiots.

Suffered? Jeff Bezos SUFFERED after that $600mil CIA cash injection?

He’s suffering amid his caviar and Clique bubbles on a Gulfstream?

Put me down for that kind of suffering.

GOODBYE DEEP STATE

Podesta needs to become pure. He needs to take every dollar he’s ever received from any Russian entity and donate it to a charity that protects the most innocent of us.

I didn’t read the Tumulty interview. Did they get around to the fact that his emails weren’t “hacked”. They were “phished” because of his own stupidity.

Next, I hear he’s going to Nigeria to get his $$$ back from that prince.

“Colluding with Russia” is turning into the same as “racist”, an epithet hurled as a bombshell expected to debilitate, not based on any actual evidence.

Axiom of the Left: “facts don’t matter, it’s the seriousness of the charge.”

No, I believe you and your brother are colluding with Russia, Mr. Podesta. You still serve slavering attention to Mr.s Clinton who traded 20 percent of US uranium for contributions to the Clinton “Foundation” and a $ 500,000 speech by her husband. Also, kindly tell us just what is your role with the Russian firm Rosnano.
