    Right. The story spread because gullible people -- or people who didn't care if they were true -- shared the stories.

    Sure. But if you're concerned about the platforms on which they spread, and you're focused on "fake news" sites, you're doing it wrong.

    The stories spread on the inernet's largest platforms.

    If you're suggesting that the dummies who shared the fake news be banned from the internet's largest platforms, I'm with you.

    Ok. Sure. So, how does this work?

    Should Sally Kohn be banned from Twitter?

    I don't get the left's fascination with defending Ellison, especially considering how they've treated Bannon.

    It's like they have to defend him, in order to defend all Muslims.

    But, if you simply quote Ellison, you're accused of "smearing" him.

    So, tell me again, who's spreading fake news, and who is pointing it out?

    You need to develop some new plays. The YF playbook is pretty stale.

    Why wouldn't she be under your new policy?

    Left wing media members really hate rural white people.

    The prejudice and ignorance in this statement is staggering.

    The governor of Iowa stands in sharp contrast to Obama's picks as ambassador to China -- the former governor of Utah, and the former Senator from Montana.

    LOL. I guess those aren't land locked states filled with white people.

    Or, maybe he deleted his tweet because he realizes how dumb it was.

    Why can't Limbaugh set his ethical/factual clock by Time's standards?

    Actually, since US farmers would be prime casualties of any serious trade war with China, Branstad being picked for this job is significant.
