50% of all Democrats believe the Russians hacked in and change the vote counts.

Then explain the polling results. Let me help you with that. Its the Goebbels effect in full force. Keep repeating the same lie and some folks start to believe it. The headlines in the major rags keep repeating the phrase "hacking the election" or "election hacking" in the headlines. Call it careless or purposeful use of language, but its apparently having an effect. Here are examples:

Obama Strikes Back at Russia for Election Hacking

Obama sanctions Russian officials over election hacking

Russia's election hack is a serious threat to US democracy

FBI, Department of Homeland Security outline conclusion that Russian agencies, military hacked U.S. election

And as for you not being a Democrat, spare me. At best, you an IINO: an Independent in Name Only. As much as you parrot Dem talking points, you're fooling no one.

as proof positive that articles by the Times and the Post in which the consensus of the intelligence community is correctly reported as fake news. Yet again, you show no capacity whatsoever to grasp what fake news is. You're probably among the 46% of Trump voters who actually believe that Hillary ran a child sex ring out of a pizza joint.

I'd advise against trying to draw conclusions about what whell 'really' thinks. His willingness to use any argument whatsoever to argue with us leaves me knowing only one thing for sure: he really wants to argue with us.

LOL. I'm not arguing with anyone. I simply post facts, link to them and comment on them. Folks like you then respond with lame attempts at insults, rarely commenting on substance. Sorry for invading your echo chamber.

Good Krugman article, whell, nice of you to link to it. Anyone who reads it will find it sums up a number of factors, any one of which can be taken as decisive when the election is a close as it was.

You are desperate to smear this issue as 'false' because you know Trump is vulnerable here. You think you can just name-call it and make it go away, but unfortunately, what Krugman says is actually true. Trump's 'legitimacy' hangs by a slim thread.

You changed "ineligible at the caucuses" to "illegals at the polls" with deliberate purpose, to claim more than you should. You are basically a lying shit, and you will never admit it.

The Washtington Post went with wrong information they had reason to believe, with no deliberate purpose to deceive. They admit and correct their error. They remain worth reading. You never are.

...but you keep reading, don't cha? Must be that you need to check every so often to make sure your mind remains closed.

Oh, by the way, I did originally post using the work ineligible to refer to those CO voters. If, in fact, Hillary and company was correct, I think its pretty safe to assume that within that pool of ineligible voters there were also illegal aliens. You may disagree, but last I checked there were about 180,000 or so illegals in CO. I'm sure that the Obama crew could find a few of those 180K that would go to the polls for them. And if they did vote, and Obama was elected, Barry wouldn't object.

You are sure of what you assume.

Unlike the OP, I will post some real "fake news," this time courtesy of Breitbart, former home of Trump's chief advisor:

BERLIN — It was every God-fearing Christian’s worst nightmare about Muslim refugees. “Revealed,” the Breitbart News headline screamed, “1,000-Man Mob Attack Police, Set Germany’s Oldest Church Alight on New Year’s Eve.”

The only problem: Police say that’s not what happened that night in the western city of Dortmund.

The Breitbart report has triggered a backlash in Germany, igniting fresh concerns over the manipulation of information and the societal cost of revenue-generating clickbait...

As they did in the United States during the presidential campaign, fake and misleading reports are popping up across Europe, particularly as a string of countries including Germany are poised for major elections. Yet the Breitbart report on Germany, critics say, shows how the disseminators of such tidbits trade not only in pure fiction but also in skillfully sown innuendo steeped in exaggeration.

“We shook our heads in disbelief when we saw how this operation was politicized” by Breitbart, said Gunnar Wortmann, a spokesman for the Dortmund police.

The report was largely aggregated from the local news outlet Ruhr Nachrichten, which also lashed out at Breitbart for “using our online reports for fake news, hate and propaganda.” ...

Breitbart — formerly headed by Trump’s top aide, Stephen K. Bannon — did not respond to a request for comment.

I wonder if Michael Flynn is busy tweeting about this to all the rubes who believe this nonsense.
