Your claim that "fake news" influenced the election results is analogous to a steaming pile of crap.

Tell that to Comey. There are multiple reports that the FBI is investigating Breitbart and InfoWars for deliberately providing a platform for Russian (fake) newsbots. Moreover, last Monday Comey during his Congressional testimony specifically mentioned fake news as being within the scope of the ongoing investigation .

I heard that. I certainly hope that the FBI chooses to "investigate" news outlets, and that the left cheers them on. It would certainly demonstrate how much the left hates the First Amendment...at least the press that they can't control.

So, I take it you think it's fine for Breitbart to collude with Russia to spread their fake news and for its boss to later become Trump's chief advisor. Who needs democracy when we can have a vain-glorious, compromised Putin stooge as President?

Show me evidence or proof that Breitbart colluded with Russia. You seem to have come to the conclusion that this collusion occurred, so let's see your proof.

Comey's working on it, just as you hope. Meanwhile, Trump colludes with Fox to have Judge Jersey Girl renounce Ryan. More fun than a barrel of monkeys.

Well, based on your post, you've already reached that conclusion, so I'm curious what evidence you have that supports your conclusion.

We have a democracy which is how Trump became President. Although your bemused head spinning is truly amusing.
