MOre Russian fed Fake News

Post by _Kevin Graham »

Amazing that even well after the election the Right Wing media is still propagating BS originating from Russia. In this case, the claim that the UK is spying on us. From Russia, to FOX, to Trump, to the American people. And it is all fake news.

Color me unsurprised.

It seems that what Russian media say today, Fox News repeats tomorrow evening, and the president of the United States (or his spokesman) the morning after that.

I wonder if Russia will ever become a free speech nation in the near future. The globalisation doesn't help them at all. More and more people are becoming aware of lies coming from the official media. Their last resort would be censoring the Internet, which is not that hard to bypass.

I was wondering when you were going to throw that out there. Of course FOX News was tripping over themselves with glee about this "report" but it does nothing to vindicate their original claims. Otherwise why did FOX fire the guy who said it?

Your own links says:

NEW YORK

New reports suggest Trump Tower was indeed wiretapped, but the wiretapping was not ordered by the man suggested in President Donald Trump's recent tweets.

According to ABC News, the FBI spent two years, ending in 2013, executing a court-approved warrant to eavesdrop on a money-laundering network that allegedly was being operated by a Russian mafia boss from a unit in Trump Tower in New York. The investigation did not implicate Trump.


Had nothing to do with Obama, had nothing to do with Trump, and it was well before the election.
