Just another way of saying “it’s the voters who were stupid”.
Over the past week, the consensus Unified Theory from the media is this: Blame fake news. This explanation started with BuzzFeed’s analysis of Facebook over the past three months, which claimed that the top 20 best-performing “fake news” articles got more engagement than the top 20 “mainstream news” stories.
Nowhere in BuzzFeed’s article does author Craig Silverman demonstrate a correlation between that data and voter persuasion, let alone a causal connection. Instead, the analysis offers a look at how articles of potentially questionable provenance could go viral quickly. That leaves a lot of questions begging in the “fake news threw the election” explanation.
Re-education will be necessary.
So it was fake news and not the Democrat disconnect with their traditional support. Hold on – the far right own the conspiracy theory ground. Are lefties getting as stupid as they say rightists are?
Another cultural marxist canard of ‘fake news’ which will prevent them from seeing the folly of their ways.
When your enemy is making a grand mistake, don’t interrupt them…
And if the teachers unionistas need re-education they can join ‘Gulags R Us’.
Of course such a massive failure will never get the ideologues to reconsider their vapid policies.
I look forward to their continued wailing as they ‘enjoy’ the fruits of their vicious anti-Trump campaign; namely a full slate of Republican rule from state, Congress, Senate and Presidency.
No wonder the progressive snowflakes are flailing about looking for the boogeyman; they have been rejected via the ballot box at every level.

Wapo is head lining a story that Russia spread fake news….and that threw the election
…so they are spreading a fake news story
Let us not forget that Facebook FIRED their whole news team because Facebook was caught making up “trends” like #blacklivesmatter. #blm was -not- trending, nobody cared, and Facebook kept it at the top of the stack anyway.
I agree completely that fake news was to blame.
Fake news, aka the MSM.
Would ‘Fake News’ include perhaps the endless polls released prior to the election? (Only the LA Times got it right from what I heard.) And I think they were all commissioned by the media. More ‘Fake News’ from the purveyors of ‘THE NEWS’!
Why do Unions allow their members to vote? Their votes should be done by proxy with the Union bosses casting the actual ballot.
Think how much easier vote counting would be if ,say,the head of the Alberta Teacher’s Federation went to the polls,and on ONE ballot voted…oh…say….. NDP for 50,000 teachers!
Add up all the other Unions,and instead of taking hours, the count could be done in a few minutes!
This could be done in every venue with like-minded people,Rosemary Barton,for instance, could cast one ballot for all five million CBC employees!
Kate McMillan could vote for all 35 million of us here at SDA!
The possibilities are endless. I expect The Order for this suggestion!
The “elites” aren’t happy as people are no longer believing their propaganda. What I noticed at work was that those people who obtain their news from the MSM were the most shocked by Trump winning the presidency. Those few people who knew what I was talking about when I mentioned the Podesta email dump and “pay for play” at the Klinton foundation weren’t surprised at the result and were also most likely to spontaneously mention that Hillary belongs in prison.
The belief that the Russians are involved in this whole matter is curious as, aside from not wanting to have a 3rd world war with the US (which would have happened under Killery) Putin has been the most moderate politician in this situation.
There’s obviously a very strong totalitarian streak among members of the globalist “elite” who only feel they need to accept results of elections if they go their way. One of their commonly voiced lies is that they believe in the democratic process, but are privately jealous that they can’t have the same “democracy” as N. Korea where the government candidates routinely win with 99+% of the vote.
I suspect the virulent Russophobia that Trump voters didn’t buy into is as a result of the Russians deciding to do things their own way and not wanting to be a part of the NWO and instead having a “retrogressive” authoritarian state where the Russian Orthodox church is revived, the bankster oligarchs are kicked out of the country and Soros is subject to immediate arrest should he dare to set foot in Russia.
One of the things I suspected would end badly was when the Ziocons suddenly became prominent in the Bush WH. I recall arguments on SDA when I was totally against the war against Iraq which made for some interesting debates. At that time I was also deeply suspicious that the WTC attack represented a false flag operation and now, given that the same anomalies that bothered me in Sept 2001 (like the dancing Israeli’s in NY, the Israeli “art student” spies, the only plane being allowed to fly to transport the Bim Laden family to SA, the total lack of any further news about this until I found ZH examining these anomalies in detail) and, in retrospect, WTC attack was most likely a false-flag operation designed to give carte blanche to Bush to reorganize the middle east. Now, 4-6 trillions of wasted dollars later, the whole US operation has been a total disaster for the multiple countries experiencing the infliction of American “democracy”, the creation of ISIS, Europe overrun with islamic “refugees” and the only response of the US statist morons is to double down on what are clearly failed policies. When two supposedly different political parties in power screw up this badly and offer only more of the same insanity, then one knows one isn’t dealing with a democracy but rather a totalitarian state with interests that don’t match at all with those of the population.
What I haven’t seen many details, aside from the curious “coincidence” that most of the US government “elites” come from communist backgrounds is whether the current US government/NWO represents the success of the the communist infiltration of the west which began in the early 1900’s? Even before WWII, the Soviets were infiltrating the US with sleeper agents and there were lots of useful idiots to help them out. In the 1960’s, when the enthusiasm of youth had me wanting to smash the system and create a decentralized Libertarian society (I labelled myself as an Anarchist back then), there were “hippies” around who were really communists and were trying to organize an underground “resistance” to bring the “benefits” of socialism to an “oppressive” capitalist society. Some of my interactions with these people did lead to physical fights, especially when I’d say things like “the only good commie is a dead commie”.
The commie news network was an appropriate label (until it became the Clinton News Network in it’s most recent makeover) as Ted Turner is a known socialist (despite being filthy rich) married to Jane Fonda who has made her communist sympathies clear. Obozo got his start as a “community organizer” and has lots of connections with members of the former Weather Underground who were a communist front in the 1960’s. I suspect that the Soviet infiltration of N. America and Europe succeeded beyond their expectations and what we’re seeing now in the globalist NWO is the result.
Of course, in the 1980’s, Reagen and Gorbachov reached an understanding and the USSR was the first evil empire to fall as it could no longer afford empire. This left just one evil empire in the world (the oligarch controlled USSA), and Russia began to revert back to its pre-communist roots. All of the depravities of the Bolsheviks were now common knowledge and part of school curricula. Given that Russia has never been a democracy, the benign autocracy it has become is likely the closest it will get to what is looked on as democracy in Canada.
When I practiced in Vancouver, I used to have a lot of patients who were Russian and traveled back to Russia frequently and their comparisons of the state of Canada’s medical system to what they could access in Russia were not very complimentary to Canada’s socialist medical system. A lot of these patients were relatively wealthy, but the impression I got was that the totalitarian communist system had essentially vanished and the primary sequelae were the corruption and cronyism that one finds in any totalitarian system which were being rooted out. When I see what a cesspool of crony capitalism and corruption the US system has become, it’s not surprising that the “elites” involved in the US system would be so Russophobic given that the Russians recently dealt with their similar problem in a more forceful manner than would be accepted in the US.
The USSR that the communist infiltrators came from no longer exist. Now, that they’ve succeeded beyond all expectations of their dead communist dictators, their dreams of having a parade held in Red Square in their honor and being given medals by the premier of the USSR have been dashed. The country that sent them to work in the shadows in a primitive country as missionaries teaching the perfection of communism has turned its back on them and tossed the totalitarian system they so cherished into the dustbin of history. No wonder they want to start a third world war with Russia so that they can reimpose communism on a country that’s had more than enough of this insane ideology. These are people who would rather have a nuclear war than to have countries which reject their ideology.
Like ever other country, Russia has an intelligence agency that spies on other governments. Their propaganda is nothing like what they used to broadcast over short wave radio in the 1960’s and the only propaganda that corresponds to the ham-fisted ideologically driven “news” that one used to get from the USSR under communism I now see in the MSM. Questioning the queer lifestyle or the perversions of other darlings of the “elite” won’t get you forcibly put into a reeducation camp, yet, but if one is too vocal about it as a physician, then enquiries into once competency to practice are inevitable. Given that learning Russian wouldn’t be difficult as I already speak a couple of Slavic languages, emigration to Russia is something I’ve been thinking about more often now, especially if the continued deterioration of N. American culture continues its seemingly inexorable downward slide.
Sorry for the long post, but this potential explanation for the US’s virulent Russophobia is something I’ve been pondering for the last few weeks.
“I suspect that the Soviet infiltration of N. America and Europe succeeded beyond their expectations and what we’re seeing now in the globalist NWO is the result.”
So true and well said sir.
The mainstream media still repeats claims that Trump is a racist or that he called all Mexicans rapists, even though it has been proven that these comments were taken out of context. And it continues to link Bannon with “white nationalism” despite a singular lack of evidence. But wasn’t CNN caught interviewing a “protester” that turned out to be one of their own cameramen?
I’ll admit that I tend to take most articles at sites like Alex Jones with a grain of salt, but the mainstream media is full of Fake News of its own.
“Fake News”
Best self inflicted wound of 2016?
We need to keep this meme going as every usage of this whine by the Lying Presstitutes, highlights their abuse of their customers.
Narrative not news= loss of customer.
Loss of custom= loss of advertising revenue.
Loss of $$ = modern media.
“We intend to focus on truthful reporting..” as opposed to our current..?
Best election of my life, the masks are off, the parasites are scuttling away from the light.
Of course staying out of the public spotlight can be arranged, if you own the people staffing the light system.
FAKE NEWS, cause everybodies doing it.
Fake news study faked?
