Righties on Discussionist were going cray cray last night about CNN. Is this why?

The spread of Russian-made fake news stories aimed at discrediting Hillary Clinton on social media is emerging as an important line of inquiry in multiple investigations into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Moscow.

Investigators are looking into whether Trump supporters and far-right websites coordinated with Moscow over the release of fake news, including stories implicating Clinton in murder or paedophilia, or paid to boost those stories on Facebook.

The head of the Trump digital camp, Brad Parscale, has reportedly been summoned to appear before the House intelligence committee looking into Moscow’s interference in the 2016 US election. Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate intelligence committee carrying out a parallel inquiry, has said that at least 1,000 “paid internet trolls working out of a facility in Russia” were pumping anti-Clinton fake news into social media sites during the campaign.

Warner said there was evidence that this campaign appeared to be focused on key voters in swing states, raising the question over whether there was coordination with US political operatives in directing the flow of bogus stories.

1. Did cons in general collude with the KGB, sure they did.

Fucking pricks.

This is why, for instance, there is NO chance our DOJ will do anything.

Our ONLY shot is a state going after somebody.

[TreasonousBastard]

2. Nah-- it was just hysteria over CNN threatening the kid who put their logo in the Trump...

wrestling video.

The wingnuts over there are getting desperate. They seem to know Trump is an asshole, but they just won't back down.

[applegrove]

3. I mean was the whole thing, including the anti CNN video, to help Trump tar the MSM

ahead of them all being investigated and possible charged? Because the Trump Data guy was supeonaed a few weeks ago. They could have come up with a strategy then when the writing, of the direction of the investigation, was on the wall.

[TreasonousBastard]

4. I'm over there a lot, but the truth is I can't follow half the nonsense...

It was a lot of fun for a while, but the stink is rising. Everyone and everything is fake news now. They don't say what unfake news might be, but do link to breitbart a lot.

CNN is now the worst of the fake news sites, with the NY Times, Atlantic, ABC, WaPo. and pretty much anything else being runners-up. The Times will be back on top any day now.

Quote National Geographic and they'll trash it. Somebody linked to NASA about global warming and was told it was lefty BS.

Really, kill some time over there and post anything that makes sense to you and watch what happens.

[applegrove]

5. Yeah. And if you state anything they ask for a link. And I always say what sources do you accept.

You know they want a link from a source like CNN, Wapo, MSNBC or NY Times but they can't say it out loud.

[TreasonousBastard]

6. CNN is fake news, but here's one where they cite O'Keefe and his Project Veritas to slime CNN...

They regularly get called out on breitbart and Veritas, but they have no shame.

[applegrove]

7. O'Keefe. Right. And this morning righties on Discussionist were claiming the guy

who did the Trump/CNN wresling video was only 15 years old. There is definitely a lot of coordination going on from all arms of the right wing. They are terrified.

[Initech]

11. And the guy definitely wasn't a kid, which was blown out of proportion.

He is a middle aged racist douchebag who deserved what he got. The CNN reporters on the other hand, did not deserve what the deplorables did last night.

[rufus dog]

8. You give those guys at Discussionist too much credit

They are too fucking dumb to coordinate anything. The ones that can get it up stroke their inadequate wee wee, then grab for the cheetos, then grab for their gun. Those who can't just stroke their gun and eat the cheetos.

As a group they are dumb as a rock and have no ability to coordinate a meet up with greater than three members at the Mini Mart. To be fair, their Moms likely hide the keys to the Buick and they are too fucking fat to walk to the Mini Mart, so coordinating a meeting would be difficult for that group.

Hi racist assholes at Disgustingness! From the bottom of my heart, FUCK OFF!

[applegrove]

9. Oh they have handlers. They get instructions on what to say.

[tazkcmo]

10. You're too kind.

But, yeah, what you said times a billion. They're the idiots that spent twice the time and energy cheating on an exam (and still failing) than the actual studying took because math is dumb and they're never gonna need it!
