Right wing outlets complaining about fake news publish fake news by fake journalists with fake creds

And they never noticed it, never checked them out, just swallowed the whole yarn.

For the radical right, all you have to do to be believed is say what they want to hear, and as along as you do that, it doesn't matter if you exist or not.

For the rest of us, if you report the truth, and it isn't what they want to hear, it's fake.

No wonder they need to rig the elections. If they don't, the results aren't going to be what they want to hear, either.
