The guy is a Congressional aid to a Maryland Congressman. He admits to making a fake website that covered a fake story about 10,000 fraudulent ballots in Ohio, that were pre-marked "Hillary Clinton". He even made up a fake electrician who "found" the ballot boxes. Turns out the photo he used was really of ballot boxes in England. The electrician who found them? He doesn't exist. Why did he do this? To make money and to hurt Hillary. He has been fired from his job, but refuses to apologize for the election fraud he committed, and for the millions of voters who believed his lie, including Donald Trump. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/18/us/fake-news-hillary-clinton-cameron-harris.html?mwrsm=Facebook I guess he thinks the ends justifies the means, that its ok to LIE about something so substantial, if the political end result is what he wants.
i believe many Conservatives will refuse to condemn this, as it helped defeat Hillary. ends justify the means, right?
If Trump is the Liar in Chief... https://mediamatters.org/research/2...tory-about-bikers-and-his-inauguration/215047 Then why be surprised if his minions follow his lead. Remember when they accused HRC of being "dishonest?"
I dont think anyone would condone his actions. Personally i am used to the internet being filled with garbage. I have become numb to it. I hold news companies to a higher standard because we rely a lot on them to help us investigate and identify truth. When the bias and misdirection of media causes people to lose faith in them to provide objective and accurate truth people are left with nothing but cynicism and paranoia to fall back on.
No one is justifying fake stories. But the idea that this had a hand in Hillary defeat is lack factual backing, despite the many true stories pertaining to her candidacy.
Whoopi doo , I seen that I'm here mints ago , and it was debunked in 5 min. Why did you vote for Trump? Your credibility is certainly in doubt.
So what's the beef again? If your honest, there are at least a dozen totally fabricated threads created on this site on any given day by liberal foreign and domestic! I'm not saying what the guy did was right, but in true Republican fashion he was "AT LEAST" bright enough to make a buck where some are not even smart enough to create good fabricated nonsense let alone make a penny doing it
So how is this any different than the fake news put out by the MSM who openly, proudly and actively attempted to defeat Trump and elect Hillary? Hillary put out fake news that Benghazi was about a video. It was a total lie. She lied to the face of the parents of the dead heros. An obscure filmmaker was jailed to prop up her lies. The lies about Benghazi were to prop up Obama's meme that Al Quaeda was on the run to help his re-election. How was that any different than what this guy did? Are lies that help Democrats not lies? You protest too much.
It is instructive to follow this past thread of fake news of alleged ballot box stuffing by Dems, proven by a fake video - from Russia. http://www.politicalforum.com/elections-campaigns/481409-video-ballot-box-stuffing.html Go through the thread to see if the posters condemning the Dems apologize after it was proven 100% that the video was fake. Not a chance. One even said to the effect "Well, this is fully expected from Dems, so it may as well be true". That's the kind of hyperpartisan need to defend anything bad from your side, no matter how bad it is.
So far not one reporter of various fake news stories in support of Hillary Clinton at CNN has even been reprimanded let alone fired.
Here are just two of the many threads created on this story at the time by Trump supporters on this forum. http://www.politicalforum.com/consp...ent-clinton-votes-found-ohio-warehouse-4.html http://www.politicalforum.com/lates...ulent-clinton-votes-found-ohio-warehouse.html Even after being given evidence that is was fake, 'they' still denied it
