This weekend we learned that there actually is a ton of faux news out there, but it's not coming from Fox. It's coming from the Obama administration, and they are proud of it! Just when we thought the Obama presidency couldn't be more like bad fiction, we learned that the guy running Obama's foreign policy is actually an aspiring novelist who regularly feeds fiction to the gullible and overwhelmingly liberal press. (If that sounds like hyperbole to you, you may not know that there is not a single Republican covering this President.) Can't make this stuff up, folks.
Remember that lame story about Benghazi being about a video? Remember that lame story about the Iran deal being about nuclear weapons? Turns out these were false narratives spun out of whole cloth from Obama's propaganda shop. We learned about this only after Obama's foreign policy novelist bragged about it in a NY Times Magazine piece that ran Sunday, May 8th. He refers to himself as a "ventriloquist" feeding lines to the Washington press corps. (The "p" is silent for you MSNBC, NPR, and NYTimesers) They lap up the fictitious narratives and repeat it out to the masses as in an "echo chamber". (Everything in quotes, for those of you "27 year olds... who know literally nothing", is actually from the mouth of Obama's novelist.)
As if that wasn't enough of an affront to both the credibility of Barack Obama and his stenographers in the media, we also learned that Facebook is suppressing conservative news stories and promoting liberal ones. The guy in charge of this operation at Facebook is an Obama/Clinton donor. Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg, who run the whole enchilada, make no secret of their leftist politics, yet they sanctimoniously claim Facebook as a paragon of transparency and fairness. (Gee, I wonder if this post will be trending on FB anytime soon?)
And just today, James Rosen, one of the few adults in the Washington press corps., and a Fox News reporter, discovered that eight minutes of his questioning of a State Department spokesperson in 2013, where she openly admits the State Department misleads the American people, was mysteriously edited out of the official video record. These are Soviet tactics, folks! This is banana republic stuff! Without all the delicious bananas, of course.

In other words, the only news bureau not taking dictation from Obama's propaganda shop is ironically the one they refer to as "Faux News".
Again, can't make this stuff up.
