Award winning journalist Sharyl Attkisson has come out and said that the recent brouhaha over “fake news” is nothing more than a “propaganda campaign” in order to censor free speech and freedom of the press by the Obama administration and the likes of Hillary Clinton.
Appearing on Wednesday on Newsmax TV’s “The Steve Malzberg Show,” Attkisson said, “Before about September 13, if you searched the news you won’t find many or any mentions of fake news. But as soon as there was, in my view, a propaganda campaign to put this on the plate of the American public, the news media and politicians including President Obama went hog wild with the term and it started making headlines every day.”
“It wasn’t a new invention,” she added.

I watch Sharyl's show religiously, it is so good!
You will learn so much.
Hope Freepers share this with everyone.
Some great links and speeches here.
I believe that I caught on the news this morning that CBS has now “proven” that Vladimir Putin was personally behind the Russian hacking of the US election.
They just “say stuff”.
Fake news has been with us since Satan tempted Eve.
That she dared to question authority and the party narrative?
That sounds about right, yes.
If the terminology dates from 9/13/16, it stands to reason it may be a meme that was selected for a PR campaign to counter the impact of images of a stiff yet wobbly HRC tumbling into her van after the 9/11 ceremony.
This is from August:
“Democrats Planting Radical Fake Conservative News Sites”
There were several articles about fake news sites long before the election. Most of the fake news was done by democrats.
One of the Alinsky rules - ,say it enough times and the dummies start to believe it” (I altered it a little)...: >)
Just wait..its going to get a lot worse. No way these people will let anything bring them down they will create, fake, lie and worse maintain their power.
Talk about a great Trump press secretary, Sharyl would be fantastic!
Blast e-mails and or faxes go out from the DNC or their surrogates to the MSM every day. Believe it. (1984)
...Fake news has been with us since Satan tempted Eve...
That’s when Bill met Hillary and they became today’s Bonnie and Clyde.
Yet FAKE NEWS meme is being used to destroy the Leftists pr lies about “Russian Hacking” etc.
The Ministry of Propaganda does not want any competition.
They believe they should be the only source of information.
The Fake news they produce should be the only Fake news.
Dude, really?
I WAS having breakfast!
Now I’m sNOT!
Propaganda is necessarily a two-sided coin.
On one side is the propaganda.
The other side of the coin is censorship.
