OBAMA VOTER ANN ALTHOUSE: The NYT headline says “C.I.A. Judgment on Russia Built on Swell of Evidence” and I’m instantly skeptical about whether what’s in the article supports that headline. Because there’s so much fake news these days.

Plus: “Ever notice how cries of ‘fake news!’ slip out of the news when the news outlets have some fake news to slip over?”

And: “That’s no swell of evidence! That’s a lot of leaping guesswork. And this is nothing more than I already read in the article the NYT put out on December 9th, which I put effort into combing through and rejected for the same reasons I’m putting in this new post. This might be the biggest fake news story I’ve ever seen!”

It’s all about delegitimizing Trump. But as someone said earlier, our political class is pulling out one control rod after another.
