Exactly- fake news has been around as long as real news- what used to be real news outlets are now propaganda outlets which is of course agenda not TRUTH driven. Conversely the independent journalists like myself who strive to deliver the truth and aren't agenda driven are labeled 'fake' by the actual fake news purveyors themselves.
The driving force behind the MSM pushing the 'fake news' narrative was the emergence of the PIZZAGATE / PEDOGATE scandal- they know this is the game changer and they're pulling out ALL the stops. Not only do those who control the MSM (satanic pedophiles) have 'skin in the game' but so do many members of the propaganda machine itself- their a**es are on the line and they know it- their fierce, visceral, patently dishonest campaign against the newly elected POTUS clearly reflects how much they fear this man and his new AG- like Trump or not I think he along with AG Sessions have a historic role to play in exposing and bringing to justice a global child trafficking/pedophile, and in some instances torture and murdering, ring. One of the main players in this 'civil war' is the CIA and anyone that doesn't understand that the CIA has a very tight chokehold on the MSM simply has not studied their history nor their openly stated control objectives regarding the media and made decades ago. They have accomplished that mission of complete control.
How anyone can look at the Podesta Emails and James Alafantis' Instagram as well as the password protected hidden pages on Comet's website that with the proper key allowed users to view child porn, and STILL think this doesn't all warrant an investigation is beyond me. I have concluded that one must either be woefully ignorant and refusing to examine evidence OR they are intentionally running cover for child traffickers/satanic pedophiles.
In the end it all boils down to discernment- IMHO it's not only prudent to process information on a logical level but it's absolutely critical to gauge how you FEEL about that particular information.
I am a bug believer in using logic , thought and reason BUT only to the point that it narrows the choices of what could be closest to the truth- that's when discernment and intuition step in and make the final call- I always go with my gut and that has served me very well.
