It’s very strange

When they call the roll in the Senate, the Senators do not know whether to answer 'Present' or 'Not Guilty'.

From tonight’s upcoming interview with Julian Asange

Our publications had wide uptake by the American people, they're all true. But that's not the allegation that’s being presented by the Obama White House. So, why such a dramatic response? Well, the reason is obvious. They’re trying to delegitimize the Trump administration as it goes into the White House. They are trying to say that President-elect Trump is not a legitimate President...

Our source is not a state party, so the answer for our interactions is no. But if we look at our most recent statement from the US government, which is on the 29th of December, OK, we had five different branches of government, Treasury, DHS, FBI, White House presenting their accusations to underpin Obama’s throwing out 29 Russian diplomats. What was missing from all of those statements? The word WikiLeaks. It’s very strange.

More evidence of fake news? More evidence that the media is the lapdog for the Government? Actually it’s another reason why you shouldn’t trust the media.  When in a ditch, stop digging media!

The crumbling edifices of major media and government collusion are showing.

  1. "media" defined as: the means of communication, as radio and television, newspapers, magazines, and the Internet, that reach or influence people widely.

    Quotefish YOU are media. I guess this means I can not accept anything YOU post as fact.

    #3 on the list for how to control a population and create a totalitarian regime: make sure the public is kept confused and ill informed. How to do that? manipulate "the media" and make sure the public trusts NOTHING.

    We don't need to distrust "THE MEDIA". We need to be very selective on which media sources we DO trust. And we need to VERIFY as much information we can, as often as possible. We need to be ACTIVE participants in our own media.

    "Russia's aim is to spread chaos to appear strong in contrast to its geopolitical foes. It does this through a mix of pointing out legitimate issues with the American government and the country's society, by printing outright lies and promoting conspiracy theories, and by spreading a million half-truths about what's going on — so many half-truths, that people lose faith in who and what to believe."

    1. You are right in that you cannot trust quotefish. The posts are meant to lead to independent thought and research to ascertain the actual story.
