If anyone ever had any notion that the Washington Post might somehow be more credible than, say The National Enquirer, think again!

The National Enquirer is and has been far more credible the the WAPO and the NYT and has been for some time.

Obama is setting the stage for a putsch. His feigned outrage over Russia’s violation of the “sanctity” of the US election is window dressing for nullifying the election somehow. Perhaps he intends to provoke an armed conflict with Russia & declare a state of emergency.

I don’t know what Obama has planned but he is up to something beyond what he is stating. This story tells us that the MSM will give him PR cover for whatever action he takes.

I'll watch the local news for the weather and the local events, but I can never stomach their spin on any National or World News. They'll always present the stories to make their Marxist friends shine.
Fortunately I can watch OAN on KlowdTV - otherwise the TV would get a hammer thrown at it.
These guys (KRON, KGO, KPIX, etc) don't seem to care that they are just propaganda feeders.

I think the term from the Mass Media class I took a million years ago for this BS is “Sensationalism” It is also another attempt to keep the Russia Hack line in the heads of the masses as the hacked election story is unraveling and Putins move won the day

Isn’t ABC supposed to be one of the fact checkers for Facebook to prevent “fake” news?

“The Washington Post has become the American Pravda”

Pravda is rarely taken seriously whereas the Washington Post is still regarded by many to be an authorative, reliable, news source. And in that regard the Washington Post becomes a dangerous tool to the propagandaists.

Do what I do. Record the local news, and fast forward past everything but the weather. The TV is OFF during national news.

Always note the SIZE OF THE HEADLINE when the leftist media post fake news. As if a gigantic font adds drama to their fake stories. Old newspaper trick. The WaPo is big on this too. ABC is the king of fake news so now they’ve become the ace fact checkers.

Can anyone say RIGGED CASINO???

These are not strategically minded people. They don’t/can’t sit back, survey, plan and bide their time. All they have at any given moment is their current lie, which they wave around like idiots, hoping it will “work” and take down their objective.

So the problem leftists have with fake news is that they are stupid enough to believe it. And publish/televise/sound it off it as real. Without fact checking. Then end up looking like idiots.
