21stCenturyWire, ZeroHedge, Truth Feed, The Intercept, Fortune, RT video, RT text, as well as others, more.In this most viewed article on WaPo's site on Friday, Craig Timberg teaches us that Donald Trump didn't win because of his personality, his program, his drive strategy, preferences as well as values of a bulk of the U.S. public, as well as their genuine dissatisfaction amongst the trends that America has been next inwards recent years. Instead, Hillary was partly if non mainly defeated by
Hillary's people nurtured the irrational anti-Russian hysteria during the campaign, hoping that it could aid Hillary. Well, it didn't run likewise well. We can't live on certain which private events direct maintain positively or negatively contributed to Trump's victory but I would bet that the anti-Russian hysteria was precisely some other error of Hillary's that has lowered her chances to acquire the starting fourth dimension woman someone president.
Too many Americans direct maintain understood that this superficial Russophobia isn't justified past times anything as well as that many Russians or friends of Russian Federation direct maintain opinions that are closer to these Americans' opinions than Hillary's opinions.
Even the rattling full general thought that Russian Federation "particularly mattered" inwards the 2016 U.S. presidential elections is precisely patch stupid. Russian Federation has existed for a G of years as well as that menstruation includes the whole history of the USA of America. Most of the time, Russian Federation was pretty much irrelevant for the U.S. And it's non likewise relevant today, either.
Americans were by as well as large voting for Trump because of reasons that had nada to practise amongst Russian Federation as well as they were learning the relevant data from sources that had nada to practise amongst Russia, either. The Washington Post is telling half of the American populace that they're the puppets who are basically controlled past times several puppet masters connected to the Kremlin. Have yous completely lost your mind?
Virtually all voters of Trump know rattling good that this is precisely an absurd pile of rubbish. Most of them haven't e'er been to Russia. Most of them genuinely haven't met a Russian someone inwards their whole life. Most of them don't plough over a damn nigh Russia. Some of them practise as well as the opinions are mixed. In particular, many Trump voters dislike Putin piece many others admire him. The split is no dissimilar from the Americans' various opinions nigh Angela Merkel or pretty much anyone else. Putin patch doesn't direct maintain whatsoever "qualitatively bigger" importance for the U.S. voters than other of import unusual politicians. Even most of Hillary's voters must know that this thought that the Kremlin was deciding nigh the U.S. elections is only junk. You must live on peculiarly unhinged to direct maintain reports similar that seriously. It's genuinely plausible that this single Czech fireman's video capturing a collapsed Hillary has made a bigger departure inwards the election than all of RT's journalists combined.
In the rattling championship (and many times inwards the article), The Washington Post author refers to "experts" or "independent researchers" – the source "research" appears to a greater extent than than 20 times inwards the article – every bit the source of the "discovery" that Russian Federation tin privy live on blamed for all lies inwards the earth as well as all undesirable election results. Who are these "researchers"? They're some anonymous people behind the PropOrNot.com website that has published a remarkable Russian propaganda attempt helped spread ‘fake news’ during election, experts say
Russia’s increasingly sophisticated propaganda mechanism — including thousands of botnets, teams of paid human “trolls,” as well as networks of websites as well as social-media accounts...Wow, precisely wow.

Who are these "researchers"? They're some anonymous people behind the PropOrNot.com website that has published a remarkable McCarthyist list of websites reliably controlled from Russia. I volition verbalize over the listing momentarily. The weblog contains lots of 21stCenturyWire, ZeroHedge, Truth Feed, The Intercept, Fortune, RT video, RT text, as well as others, more.

In the rattling championship (and many times inwards the article), The Washington Post author refers to "experts" or "independent researchers" – the source "research" appears to a greater extent than than 20 times inwards the article – every bit the source of the "discovery" that Russian Federation tin privy live on blamed for all lies inwards the earth as well as all undesirable election results. Who are these "researchers"? They're some anonymous people behind the PropOrNot.com website that has published a remarkable more focused attacks, e.g. nigh Zero Hedge. On that page, they "prove" that Zero Hedge is controlled past times Russian Federation past times pointing out that Zero Hedge thinks that the Clinton Foundation is corrupt. What a "proof". Do they really believe that exclusively Russians are capable of seeing the corruption inwards the Clinton Foundation? What gives the Russians this "new additional duet of eyes"? Why don't e.g. Italians direct maintain the same ability?
If yous await at Alexa.com, yous volition detect out that these groundbreaking "researchers" who direct maintain allegedly "discovered" the actual reasons behind Trump's victory are getting precisely hundreds of visitors a twenty-four hours – it's an order-of-magnitude less influential weblog than e.g. mine. And inwards the sidebar, they link to their boyfriend "researchers" – at "Russia Lies", "Boycott Russian Federation Today", as well as thus on. Quite "neutral" names for "researchers". Also, over 140 people direct maintain already downloaded the adjacent Facebook, a Chrome extension that marks links to websites (about 1/2 of tidings websites) that the "experts" believe to live on controlled past times the Kremlin. For example, the extension volition label Bloomberg every bit a Putin puppet. Handy. :-)
All these people are self-evidently unhinged crackpots (or average obnoxious trolls, cheque e.g. their tweets) that would live on banned on my website inside days as well as indeed, I am banning this sort of aggressive filth whose idiocy is precisely likewise hopeless every other calendar week or so. But this filth is clearly goodness plenty to live on considered "experts" as well as "researchers" past times The Washington Post! The reject of the standards at these would-be mainstream sources has accelerated dramatically. PropOrNot actively industrial plant on projects to disconnect Russian Federation from the SWIFT payment organisation as well as calls on the FBI as well as DOJ to actively prosecute all the websites on their list.
But it's a lot of fun to await at the black listing of the websites constructed past times these "researchers" inwards some detail. It contains all influential plenty websites associated amongst Russian Federation or run past times Russians – RT, Sputnik News, Pravda, The Saker etc. – but also a huge amount of websites yous must direct maintain heard of as well as that are completely Western but don't belong to the Hillary-style grouping think. It seems that every website that a Hillary supporter could direct maintain e'er disagreed amongst or institute inconvenient is or could live on listed there. (BTW fifty-fifty the incorporation of the Russian communist Pravda Report to a listing that fought for Trump is unusual given the 2 tiptop read articles, "Can Russian Federation Trust Trump?" as well as "Is Trump's Ship [thanks, Bill, LOL] Already Sinking?" as well as a few others.)
You volition detect e.g. Canadian far left GlobalResearch.CA "think tank" on that listing as well as some Clinton-critical left-wing sites such every bit Truthout, Black Agenda Report, Truthdig as well as Naked Capitalism, but most of the entries are right-wing U.S. sources. Stunning examples include the Drudge Report, the Ron Paul Institute, Zero Hedge, WikiLeaks, as well as Alex Jones' Infowars.com. All these websites (and their owners?) as well as hundreds of others are only claimed to live on Russian agents of a sort.
The Washington Post article writes nigh "fake news". It was Russian "fake news" that direct maintain beaten Hillary. But the rattling conspiracy theory inwards this WaPo article is the best textbook instance of "fake news" yous tin privy find. The thought that basically all by as well as large anti-Hillary websites that helped Trump to win are connected to a Kremlin-controlled network of "fake tidings distributors" is the ultimate conspiracy theory as well as the ultimate instance of faux news.
Indeed, if all the websites on the "black list" could live on counted every bit Russian-controlled, it would hateful that Russian Federation has already acquire the world's #1 superpower inwards the Internet tidings industry. But has it? The thought is clearly ludicrous.
Just similar the extreme left-wing media direct maintain tried to pigment Trump as well as his collaborators every bit Nazis past times proverb that 21stCenturyWire, ZeroHedge, Truth Feed, The Intercept, Fortune, RT video, RT text, as well as others, more.
Hillary's people nurtured the irrational anti-Russian hysteria during the campaign, hoping that it could aid Hillary. Well, it didn't run likewise well.

In the rattling championship (and many times inwards the article), The Washington Post author refers to "experts" or "independent researchers" – the source "research" appears to a greater extent than than 20 times inwards the article – every bit the source of the "discovery" that Russian Federation tin privy live on blamed for all lies inwards the earth as well as all undesirable election results. Who are these "researchers"? They're some anonymous people behind the PropOrNot.com website that has published a remarkable they are alt-right as well as alt-right are Nazis (while overlooking that the important of "alt-right" is completely dissimilar inwards the 2 sentences), they are fighting sensible data sources past times conflating them amongst "fake news". But given whatsoever sensible definition, "fake news" are basically satirical or apolitical profit-making sites that direct maintain absolutely nada to practise amongst RT, The Drudge Report, or whatsoever of the websites whose ambition is clearly to create important, reliable, breaking news, non "fake news". Only consummate idiots may live on fooled past times these short propaganda tricks as well as I recollect that Trump's victory shows that the likes of Craig Timberg heavily overestimate the issue of consummate idiots inwards the U.S.
Insane leftists such every bit Craig Timberg – as well as the numerous comparable imbeciles inwards The Washington Post who allowed this offensively stupid rant to live on published inwards the daily – are going through the levels of grief as well as denial. They all the same desire to deny that America is dissimilar than the Soviet-style dictatorship they would prefer.
You know, Craig Timberg, the people as well as opinions that yous consider "hallmarks of Russia" are genuinely something different. They're the novel "mainstream inwards America". If yous can't alive amongst this unproblematic fact, then, well, yous volition likely direct maintain to commit suicide. Good luck.
By the way, I forgot to lift i quote inwards Timberg's rant. He quotes some "experts" who state that the destination of the Russian masterminds is to carve upwards America. And because they can't detect whatsoever instance of mistaken tidings that the "pro-Russian" data sources direct maintain spread, they depict the "Russian strategy" at to the lowest degree every bit follows:
“It’s to brand everything seem relative. It’s sort of an appeal to cynicism.”Einstein has made almost everything seem relative, too. What is this electrical charge supposed to say? What is the reverse of the "bad, relative"? Is it "good, absolute"? Or "black-and-white"? Most things inwards the earth are relative as well as i should live on careful non to purchase oversimplified, "black-and-white" stories nigh everyone as well as everything. If yous telephone telephone it "cynicism" as well as if yous associate this sort of relativism amongst Russian, well, I must state that it's largely goodness to live on "cynical" inwards this feel as well as Russian Federation is doing a dandy service to the West if it makes us to a greater extent than "cynical" inwards this sense.
Needless to say, the attribution of all these things to Russian Federation is silly. Most people inwards the West are also capable of seeing that many things are relative as well as rattling far from the naive black-and-white stories that some lame media would dearest their readers to believe.
