Smells like Panic in the corporate media - Guardian.com mentions Pizzagate, MSNBC has a clown babbling that Nothing Trump has ever said is true (pizzagate)

submitted ago by 2impendingdoom

No link, but MSNBC had some white haired guy adamantly claiming that nothing Trump has ever said is true, and that the media has to fact check everything Trump and WH says.

Then I see this story on the Guardian.com:

Ten alternative facts for the post truth world

We are # 3 !!

"3. ‘Pizzagate’

Conspiracy theories thrive in the new age of post truth – often with dangerous consequences. In December, a phony report alleging that Hillary Clinton was at the heart of a paedophile conspiracy persuaded 28-year-old Edgar Maddison Welch from Salisbury, North Carolina, to “self-investigate” the ludicrous claims by firing shots from an assault rifle in a Washington DC pizza parlour. The restaurant, Comet Ping Pong, had been falsely associated with the story, itself comprehensively debunked before Welch’s attack. Death threats were received by the owner and staff, unwitting victims of the so-called Pizzagate allegations. It is worth noting that Michael Flynn, briefly Trump’s national security adviser, had tweeted that the stories connecting Clinton with “Sex crimes w/Children” were a “MUST READ”. As tempting as it is to dismiss fake news as the staple diet of the fringe, it has enthusiastic consumers at the very apex of power...."

I think they are freaking out. They lost Comey, and McCabe is under investigation by Sen. Grassley, even CNN is reporting

None of this would be happening if they weren't very concerned, or in my opinion, panicking.

Not a peep out of Podesta in the last couple of days, and no sign of Hilldawg since she blamed Comey and "Russian Wikileaks" for not getting 'her turn' - good times! My favourite has to be Maxine Waters' double standards getting called out on MSNBC https://youtu.be/w8nyZVSVQZg

Seems that far less negative comments are getting through on these tweets than usual...and the one's that do are being met with a load of allegations of being paid russian trolls....

Also noticed my Twitter had been shadowbanned yesterday...even though I've only made 3 relatively innocuous comments in the last 6 months (as I use it so rarely I can't know when this happened)

Voat has been cranky as hell today as well....anyone know what that is about?

My spidey senses are really starting to tingle!

Haha. "Projection." This guy is nuts.

If you replace "Donald Trump" with "John Podesta" you got the truth

Mad_As_Hell ago

He's cockier/more deluded than I thought! Hilarious to hear the man whose company received $35 million from the Russian government talk about 'projection'

Projection is a go-to technic from team Clinton.

Those with their eyes open can see these public figures are actors in a drama they are performing with the media, which is nothing but Operation Mockingbird: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Mockingbird

She's priceless! But she can't top what we have in Texas, Sheila Jackson Lee. Wikipedia vs. Wikileaks :)

😂 All of this ridiculous deflection reminds me of this passage on HRC from Christopher Hitchens' excellent No One Left To Lie To, written back in 1999:

"Mrs. Clinton has the most unappetising combination of qualities to be met in many days' march: she is a tyrant and a bully when she can dare to be, and an ingratiating populist when that will serve. She will sometimes appear in the guise of a 'strong woman' and sometimes in the softer garb of a winsome and vulnerable female. She is entirely un-self-critical and quite devoid of reflective capacity, and has never found that any of her numerous misfortunes or embarrassments are her own fault, because the fault invariably lies with others. And, speaking of where things lie, she can in a close contest keep up with her husband for mendacity. Like him, she is not just a liar but a lie; a phoney construct of shreds and patches and hysterical, self-pitying, demagogic improvisations."

She's consistent, I'll give her that!

Incredible quote. And Clinton insiders will say the same. And she doesn't like kids. At all.

Mad_As_Hell ago

In the same way Alefantis doesn't like them?

bopper ago

I don't know what's with Alefantis on that. What do you think he meant when he said that? Remember it was said privately, while at same time he said "Everything [else] they say about me is true."

We know Hillary had a child to further she and Bill's political career. Oops, wrong dad though.

Mad_As_Hell ago

Thank God her and Bill never spawned! I'd say when your occupation is procuring children for the DC elite it's in your best interests psychologically not to like them
