Facts Or Fakes: Can We Trust The Washington Post?

by | Jan 3, 2017

In November the Washington Post printed an article accusing some 200 independent media organizations of being “fake news” sites doing the bidding of the Kremlin. Their evidence? They had none, so very soon they were forced to walk back the story. On Friday they breathlessly reported that the Russians had hacked our energy grid, but it soon turned out they didn’t bother to actually contact the company they reported hacked. It wasn’t hacked. They had to walk back the story. Yes their credibility is shot, but they still churn out a steady stream of propaganda. What to do about their disintegrating credibility? Convince the US government that they should be in charge of vetting what is is fake news versus real news. It can’t happen here? Tune in to today’s Liberty Report:
