Focusing on the mistakes of the media doesn't make the case any less serious. Aside from the media there still are the reports of FBI and CIA. Considering the proven fact that russia intervened in the election on a large scale

Interesting - could you please post links to some sources where I can read about the details of those "proven facts"?

Because over here in Germany, there have been thousands of articles suggesting what you describe, but I still haven't read a single article presenting anything that would even remotely pass as an actual proof. In fact, I still haven't even read a single article describing how exactly that russian intervention should have even happened...

Instead, the articles I've read usually just contain quotes by the usual anonymous "experts", "sources", subjuncive statements etc. - you know, the usual kind of stuff that, when repeated over and over, will make the audience subconsciously assume that there must be some truth to those stories, even though no evidence whatsoever has ever been presented.



Lol fake news



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

This story would have been dead and gone a long time ago if Trump had just kept his damn mouth shut. He should have just taken from Obama's playbook (and the majority of presidents before him) and simply ignored stories they knew were ridiculous. Trump freaking out about it every other day is why this shit is still going; it's too easy to get a rise out of him.



Trump is a shit heel and is going to try to push "fake news" as an angle for his idiot base to discredit any news he doesn't like. Watch and see, this will become his standard from now on. Anything Trump doesn't like "oh it's fake news".

Never mind he started his whole "political career" on the back of the birth fake story on president Obama, which even he has now disavowed as bullshit.

But sure maybe the new should focus on Trumpcare, which is going to cut 22 million people off medical coverage or his environmental record that's going to destroy most environmental regulations for the benefit of rich corporations.

It was rather obvious when the corporate media kept pushing the narrative for months, but never came up with any concrete evidence and just cited "sources [they] can not verify".

Yeah so

It's true.....and we can prove it ...we just cant reveal the proof...

cause blank

So...we need to keep talking about it.

Did you not read or watch anything on cnn and about their coverage of the russia conspiracy crap? CNN stuck to that story because of heightened ratings and it pushes a narrative that works with their ideology.
