A now-notorious list of ostensibly “fake” news sites — created by a liberal professor, seemingly out of thin air — spread like wildfire online in the past two days and was eagerly reprinted by corporate media presstitutes hoping to vindicate their own failed reporting on the 2016 election.
But branding perfectly legitimate outlets with the same scarlet letter as those devoid of integrity deemed the professor’s list a spurious attempt to defame alternative and independent media — anyone dissenting from the left’s mainstream narrative — as a whole.
This is, in no uncertain terms, a hit list — or, at least, a laughable attempt — and it fits conveniently into the establishment’s burgeoning war on independent media disguised as a battle against fake news.
1. George W. Bush’s Weapons of Mass Destruction
2. Gulf of Tonkin Incident
3. Suppression of brutality perpetrated in Bahrain during the Arab Spring
4. That time Fox News hired a CIA operative who wasn’t a CIA operative
5. Vapid anti-marijuana propaganda and the furtherance of the war on drugs
