Meanwhile, “€œfake news”€ sites such as Project Veritas continued to bust open story after story during the election. James O”€™Keefe exposed one major controversy per day in the two weeks before the election, including the DNC promoting violence and bussing in fake voters. InfoWars helped showcase WikiLeaks, which became a seemingly infinite number of emails exposing everything from collusion with the mainstream media to the Democratic primary being rigged. This has always been the case with citizen journalists. Matt Drudge is the one who told us about Monica Lewinsky. Nobody else had the balls. It was a plucky Anthony Cumia who exposed Anthony Weiner’s exhibitionism. We need people like this when the dinosaurs get too stuck in their ways. Watching 60 Minutes these days is like hanging out in a nursing home. It’s geriatric producers pushing tropes from half a century ago. They are so naive they sent a blond woman into a mob of angry Arabs, twice! If we relied on them, we”€™d all be dead. It was self-employed journalist Tommy Robinson who exposed the Muslim rape gangs in Rotherham. Ann Coulter works for no one and she’s responsible for telling America about its open-border problem. Adios, America is the reason Trump made immigration the thrust of his campaign and it’s a big part of why he won. Few had any idea how many disgruntled Bernie supporters were infiltrating Hillary rallies until Mike Cernovich went there and Periscoped it himself.

None of these people comply with the kind of parameters set by assistant professors, and their information is much more “€œreal”€ than the MSM sources exempt from persecution.

There is some good news, however. When real news site Naked Capitalism noticed that fake news site The Washington Post had published the list, they got lawyers involved. The finance blog that has been going since 2006 just threatened to sue the Post for “€œridicule, emotional distress, loss of reputation, and risk to future career advancement.”€ This is how we operate in 2016. We fight back. They can act as scary as they want. We”€™re not going to take it sitting down.
