Moon of Alabama — New False Claims Of "Russian Hacks" = Old Ukrainian Malware Found


Moar on fake news distributed by Jeff Bezos' Washington Post, to which I refer less than affectionately as the Washing Pest.

Again, consider that most people read only headlines. The major mode of distributing propaganda is through headlines and media ledes. Even with qualifications embedded in the narrative, or even later corrections, most people will remember the headlines or lede.

This is a full court press against both Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump simultaneously, with a side jab at Bernie Sanders, too.

I like calling that rag The Washed Up Post.

It's websites like The Intercept that are leading the way now with actual journalism. I'd rather read Counterpunch and Common Dreams and blogs like Mike's over what everyone else is swallowing up whole from those bigger outlets.
