Fake News

There certainly is fake news, but where does it come from? In truth it comes from Mainstream Media and from alternative Media.

The term in current use originates from the mainstream media (MSM) who claim to have a monopoly on truth, apparently only they tell the truth.

In recent weeks both CNN and MSNBC (and others) have told blatant lies regarding Trump and the Trump administration followed by a rapid withdrawal. It appears in their haste to rubbish everything he does or even doesn’t do, they are failing to check their stories before releasing the “News”. This is clearly an example of fake news.

The anti-Trump bias in the MSM is clear for everyone to see. Prior to the Presidential election, of the top 100 MSM news outlets, 99 came out in support of the Candidacy of Hilary Clinton, including all but 1 of those that would be expected to endorse the Republication nominee.

That bias has continued. In the eyes of the MSM Trump can do nothing right or good. We have the totally unsubstantiated claims of Russian collusion with the Trump campaign to steal the election, euphemistically referred to as Russiagate (to give it an air of legitimacy), which after over a year has produced no evidence whatsoever, and any charges brought to date have been for totally unrelated reasons. If anything the only evidence to come to light so far has revealed totally legitimate contact between Russia and members of the Trump team, and potentially shady dealings by members of the Clinton campaign. Any evidence of Clinton campaign collusion or other election rigging is either flatly denied or more usually remains unreported. It makes sense that an incumbent (Democrat) government would be better placed to rig an election, than a campaign not fully supported by its own party.

It is estimated that around 24 million votes in the US election were or should have been invalid, including apparently 1.8 million dead people, and 14% of all illegal immigrants.

Our conclusion regarding the US election rigging and Russiagate are clear examples of fake news from the US (and other such as BBC) mainstream media. Russiagate would be called a conspiracy theory if it was being claimed by the “right” or alternative media.
