This married gay couple runs one of the largest alt-right fake news sites

Sean Adl-Tabatabai and Sinclair Treadway aren’t your typical gay couple.

The couple first made news when they were one of the first gay couples to get married in Britain and photos of their happy moment were splashed worldwide. Now they’re creating “news” out of whole cloth via their alt-right fake news site Your News Wire.

Their site has become the go-to rightwing conspiracy theory site and according to the Hollywood Reporter, they’re starting to rival Breitbart.

Adl-Tabatabai, a British citizen, and Treadway, a Bernie Sanders supporter in the 2016 election, traffic in conspiracy theories and outrageous stories based off a small detail in a news story that they blow out of proportion. They’ve published stories on Pizzagate, medical hoaxes, sky trumpets, and helped push Donna Brazile out of her job at CNN during the election.

Disaffected liberals, the two seem to believe the media is responsible for all of humanity’s woes. While they’ve criticized some of Donald Trump‘s policies (like the transgender military ban), they view him as a transformative presence in American politics.

“He may be a buffoon, and he may make some really bad mistakes during his presidency, but he’s still an anti-establishment figure,” Adl-Tabatabai said. “A vote for him was a vote to smash the system.”

3. What nonsense.

He isn't smashing the system. Trump is merely taking the parts of the system that work best for him and strengthening them, while destroying the parts of the system that generated some sense of stability to the rest of the people.

We can and should certainly have a discussion/debate/dialogue or whatever, about what parts of government needed to be improved or even done away with. That should always be happening.

Trump is an idiot. He spent his entire life gaming the system (not just government either) for his own interests. He loves the system as long as he can profit from it. Idiots like this couple do not get it.

So they create a fake news website.

5. Yes, the irony!

6. "Disaffected liberals, the two seem to believe the media is responsible for all of humanitys woes."

This caught my eye since some folks here insist this dynamic simply doesn't exist in the real world. That they are products of some DNC-DLC-Third Wayer's imagination.

And yet, here it is.
