huge problem, when half the country does not. We are amazed that they think the way they do, but if you look at the News they watch, it is obvious. Everything that goes wrong is Obama's or Hillary's fault. I check Fox on line to see how and what they are reporting. They igore anything damaging to DT or spin the story so the Dems are presented as the ones who are to blame. Fox is to the left
of many of these very strange groups...pure, unabashed propaganda. Unless they start getting real news, we will remained a brutally divided country.
I have my own set of relatives. OMG. TG I left home at 17, and I saw the light in elementary school. By 15, I saw the blazing sun in the darkness. They are even darker now...God, DT, and money.

I were a fake news fox truther.

Thank Goodness I'm not the brainwashable type just 'cause the flashy "news" station wants to think for me.

I had my chance in 1999.. I hadn't seen tv for a long time since I was on Kauai and we had a major hurricane that involved 5 years to rebuild our Island. Then I moved to upper state NY and bought a tv.. fox was one of the choices .. I thought.. "wow, they sure do news differently now.."

I lasted about 2 weeks and I could tell they were attempting brainwash and I hadn't even gotten into politics yet.. I got the hell outta there.

And, I heard much later from my son that my ex husband is a fox news truther.. My son was working on his father's house and told his dad he wouldn't work with fox on.. His dad said.. "it's all true" My son.. "no, it's not" I can see why that never would have worked out.

Good on you, Alice!

DUzy!

On a related note, I was looking for some youtube videos of Sessions and some RW lunatic posted the CSPAN3 archive of Sessions' confirmation hearing and titled it "FAKE NEWS" and had this whole rant narrative associated with it.

The recorded broadcast from CSPAN of what had been a live hearing now dubbed "fake news".

Of all the strange things in this entire trainwreck, the fact that people are taking the side of the Russians is the weirdest. Heck, I remember back in the late 1990s, some conservatives I knew (socially) rooted against the Red Wings for having "Commie" players, most of whom were defectors!

P.S., Tell her (IF you want to follow up British and Dutch intel report Putin people and Trump people met in Europe throughout campaign.

Jaysus!

http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2017/03/british-dutch-passed-along-intel-about-meetings-between-trump-team-and-russia

American allies, including the British and the Dutch, had provided information describing meetings in European cities between Russian officials — and others close to Russia’s president, Vladimir V. Putin — and associates of President-elect Trump, according to three former American officials who requested anonymity in discussing classified intelligence. Separately, American intelligence agencies had intercepted communications of Russian officials, some of them within the Kremlin, discussing contacts with Mr. Trump’s associates.
