The Right Wing fell for one of the best, most intelligent fake news propaganda campaigns we have seen in some time

If you are afraid of Twitter then don't read it.
I don't have a Twitter so I don't have to worry about being brainwashed by 'evil' Russians. ATS has more than enough well-vetted information for all of us.
Hardly.
ATS is a pit of disinfo and propaganda.
People on this site are more misinformed than any other group of people I have encountered.

So you admit that you lie, and you can't prove the right is fake news factories.
I did not say the right is fake news factories.
Actually, you did. You can play semantics all you want in your attempt to wiggle out of it -- assuming you just don't cop to it.
Fake news did not become an issue until it was shown the Right was completely owned by fake news factories.
Words are important. I did not say the Right "is" fake news factories.
I said they were "owned" by them.
Surely you can understand the difference.
The Right is actually a victim of fake news...poor guys.

Makes sense as every successful modern journalist is bought and paid for by somebody.
I always argued for integrity in journalism. It is very important to a free society. It is totally not the case now. I can't think of one single journalist who I have any faith in at all. All we have is FAKE NEWS, edited to the hilt, manipulated and propagandized, worthless in terms of real INFORMation.
I am more interesting in reading commentary. I am able to learn about mood and get a feel for where people are at. The articles are more a devil's advocate provoking discussion.

Read the whole thread...
Based on the premise of the thread... how do we know that the OP is not in fact a Russian troll?
Anybody could be one.

It's ok I had a typo.
So that excuses him from claiming the right is completely owned by fake news factories.
He can't defend it, he knows that.
But it's a great look into what he truly is.

OK< the lesson to learn from this thread is the new tactic is that if someone doesn't think on an issue exactly like you do, it's because they're really a Russian agent in disguise.
Red Scare, indeed.
