    My favorite part of the Asshole Elect's second tweet was telling the union guy to talk less and work more.

    This coming from a guy who is going on a masturbatory thank you tour so he can get his ego stroked before Jan. 20.

    Baron cheats on his taxes. I'll bet you he won't provide proof he doesn't.

    Right. As opposed to #PizzaGate or #HillarysHealth, which the main stream media fully embraced.

    The point is that they gave it oxygen, and spread it -- on the biggest media platforms that exist. And, opinion journalists certainly did do the whole, "Romney could disprove this by simply releasing his taxes" bit.

    What do you mean the media fully embraced PizzaGate?

    Ugh. I mean they obviously did not embrace it. To the degree that "fake news" that targets democrats reaches the main stream media, it's strictly to "fact check" it and debunk it.

    But, fake news that targets Republicans, or conservative social values? It's often generated by the main stream media, and spread by them.

    Indiana Pizza parlor refuses to cater gay wedding!! -- Generated by TV station.

    Frat Bros, especially those who attend schools steeped in Southern culture, routinely commit gang rape as part of their initiation -- Rolling Stone

    Donald Trump was hospitalized for a nervous breakdown in 1990 -- Newsweek political reporter

    Melania Trump was a prostitute -- UK Daily Mail

    Baron Trump looks like might be autistic -- spread by Rosie O'Donnell

    Donald Trump bragged about committing sexual assault -- everybody in the media

    How often did we all see this dumb meme on social media:

    I see your Rosie O'Donnell and raise you Alex Jones - to whom Trump said “Your reputation is amazing. I will not let you down.”

    “When I think about all the children Hillary Clinton has personally murdered and chopped up and raped, I have zero fear standing up against her,” Jones said in a YouTube video posted on Nov. 4. “Yeah, you heard me right. Hillary Clinton has personally murdered children. I just can’t hold back the truth anymore.”

    And who hasn't done 100 hours of actual work in his whole fucking pampered silver spoon life.

    Donald Trump did brag about committing sexual assualt. If you grab someone by the privates without their consent, that's sexual assault.

    But other than that, your list is a mix that includes foreign invaders, HIPPA violations and mean-spirited opinion. None of it is as outlandish as the tripe that the alt-right swallows and perpetuates.

    Except the crazy notion that a gay couple would have a pizza parlor cater their wedding!

    This is funny.

    The White House employs a failed novelist as a top national security aid, and when he's not negotiating with the Iranians, he's writing fake news, and distributing it to his trusted outlets in the main stream media.

    And, he bragged about it the New York Times.

    So, we get a story, just before a presidential election, that a YouTube video led to a spontaneous protest, in which our Ambassador was murdered, rather than the truth, that a well planned Al-Qaeda attack occurred on the anniversary of 9/11, murdering our Ambassador and others.

    Iran detains our Sailors the day of the State of the Union, and the story becomes, "well, thank God John Kerry has established good relations with the Iranians."
