Glenn Greenwald: Another Major MSM Story Falls Apart...

[Dschrute3]

Objective credible Journalism in America does seem to be on its death bed. It's what happens when Government and Corporations get in bed together to run the Media. It's a recipe for disaster. And we're experiencing that disaster now. Just a handful of large Corporations now control just about all Mainstream Media information Americans receive.

Glenn Greenwald weighs in on another MSM 'News' story proven to be false.


Yet Another Major Russia Story Falls Apart. Is Skepticism Permissible Yet?

Last Friday, most major media outlets touted a major story about Russian attempts to hack into U.S. voting systems, based exclusively on claims made by the Department of Homeland Security. “Russians attempted to hack elections systems in 21 states in the run-up to last year’s presidential election, officials said Friday,” began the USA Today story, similar to how most other outlets presented this extraordinary claim.

Virginia’s Democratic Congressman Don Beyer, referring to the 21 targeted states, announced that this shows “Russia tried to hack their election”

MSNBC’s Paul Revere for all matters, relating to the 'Kremlin take-over'. Rachel Maddow, was indignant that this wasn’t told to us earlier and that we still aren’t getting all the details. “What we have now figured out,” Maddow gravely intoned as she showed the multi-colored maps she made, is that, "Homeland Security knew at least by June that 21 States had been targeted by Russian Hackers."

So what was wrong with this story? Just one small thing: it was false. The story began to fall apart yesterday when Associated Press reported that Wisconsin – one of the states included in the original report that, for obvious reasons, caused the most excitement – did not, in fact, have its election systems targeted by Russian hackers:..

Russians targeted the makers of the voting machines .

Which Russians? The Russian Hackers working for Obama who tried to hack in to all of our election systems, and Obama was dumb enough to admit he failed at it all 1,000 times? Then we find out when our Sneaky GOV tries to hack a system, they leave behind a present each time that tries to Frame the Chinese or Russians for the Hacking our OWN GOVERNMENT is doing against us. Then we find out The Reason the most Evil and Corrupt President that the US ever Elected tried hacking our election system himself was the same reason he wanted Obamacare passed...He wanted the Federal Government to take over State Elections...most likely so he could rig The Election for Clinton.

Fucker should face a treason trial.

The DOJ is still in Obama's back pocket.

20 years from now some liberals will still be claiming Russia influenced the election.

This is a good example of how easy it is for the elite media to control the minds of millions of Americans.
