This bit about fake news is quite disturbing. As a journalist, it disgusts me to see our vaunted American media trolling itself and blaming it on "The Russians." I mean, guys, come on, the fakest news in town is that which has come directly from the outlets that claim the mantle of "professional journalism" i.e. Yellow cake, barrel bombs, moderate rebels, curveball... and so on. If we had a real fair and balanced fourth pillar, the American populace wouldn't have needed to turn to alt sites in search of valid analysis that actually questions power without fear of loss of sponsorship and/or access. The corporate media/Washington propaganda juggernaut has now created their stalking horse to compensate for what can only be called a proper reaming over the last election cycle. T'was a long time coming.
