On the way to the gym today, I decided to listen to talk radio (as I often do to see what "news" is being pushed by Limbaugh and Co.). Anyway, on the way to the gym, Chris Plante (a far-right bomb thrower) insisted that since Comet Ping Pong was in a liberal neighborhood, the original source of the fake news must have been a disgruntled liberal who got a bad pizza. Then on the way home, Rush Limbaugh's sit-in, Mark Steyn, insisted that there was no such thing as "fake news" and that "fake news" was in fact real news that liberals didn't want to hear. It seems Trump and Co. are feeling the heat over Gen. Flynn and his wayward son (and/or Trump's discredited 3 million illegal votes claim) and are trying to discredit the existence of fake news or to say that it is only a liberal phenomena.
It seems Whell got the memo.

Hmmm....I fear Finn may have a more severe case of PESS than I thought.

Is the New York Post mainstream media? I always thought it was a tabloid.

Who knows what whell believes when he's lying in his bed. We'll never know. Whell gives little or nothing of himself here. He just throws party-line brickbats.
With his public persona so welded to the party line, if he ever has the slightest doubt of Trump's virtue and dignity, we'll never hear of it.

Nothing to see here, eh Mike?
'Feds: Woman made death threats to Sandy Hook victim’s parent'
"MIAMI — A Florida woman has been charged with making death threats against the parent of a child who died in the Sandy Hook school shooting massacre because she thought the attack was a hoax, federal authorities announced Wednesday.
Lucy Richards, 57, of Tampa was arrested Monday after a grand jury indictment on four felony counts of transmitting threats, the U.S. Justice Department said in a statement."

And the primary purveyor of this particular trash is InfoWars' Alex Jones, a friend of Trump's whose reputation Trump refers to as "amazing" and who one of the very first people to receive a phone call from Trump after the election.
Here's another factoid for you:
Legitimate news stories outperformed the fake ones in the early months of the 2016 election campaign. But in the last three months, fake news sources saw their engagement surge. There’s a clear partisan dimension to this story. According to Silverman, 17 out of the 20 fake news stories had information favoring Donald Trump.

Hell, the Twitter prez loves the National Enquirer along with any other bag o' hammers news source that catches his eye. The pendulum has swung once again and now the far right morons are in charge. I hope these idjits don't get us in a shooting war with China.
Welcome to the Confederate States of Idiocracy.
