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.

every moment Podesta is distracted is another minute one of his victims experiences peace.

Thank you Hannity. Every minute of his concern you take up is a mercy

I wonder if Seth specifically gave wilileaks the pedo emails.
Something stinks. Something is under investigation.
Speculation, speculation.
We can do it too.
Screw the lefties. and their pedo scum of Satan.

Absolutely. Pedesta’s desperation has kicked in. Many have predicted the “alt-right are Russians” response.

Classic Clintonista accuse the accusers of your own doings, thus inoculating yourself from further scrutiny. Rather stale old $hit but the media still laps it up live a Pavlovian pooch.

In a classic Alinsky move, Podesta accuses conservative journalists of colluding with Russia when we already know that he and his associates
were substantially involved with them prior to 2016.

Interestingly I saw on Reddit today that the Washington Compost hosted a DNC fund raiser.

A smart AJ and FBI would quietly be weabing the noose to hang around Podesta’s (and a few other’s) neck.

How about we make a list of just what Podesta and his ilk have been up to that should be investigated immediately and prosecuted??

Let’s start with Seth Rich?

Are there any other Russias I should know about?

Hannity needs to call-out the Murdoch Brats at Fox, and then be prepared to lead the charge at a new conservative news network if/when necessary.
