A Collage of Creepy and Inaccurate Fake News Reports
by Joe Hoft
Another Internet sleuth has uncovered and reported a series of dishonest and outright crazy tall tales from the left. His list is as follows –
1/ If YouTube were to recommend your show, it’d be recommending the leading purveyor of now debunked Trump-Russia conspiracy theories, falsehoods & innuendo of the last 2+ years. Here’s a sample:

3/ There was that time in Jan 2017 when you speculated that Putin may use the pee tape & other kompromat to force Trump into withdrawing US troops near Russia. How did that one turn out? pic.twitter.com/XuXXagyCNb

5/ Who could forget that time this past winter when you seized on life-threatening cold temperatures to fear-monger that Russia could kill Americans by knocking out their heat?pic.twitter.com/deo2H4SBBQ
— Aaron Maté (@aaronjmate)
7/ How about that time when you speculated — citing the Steele dossier — that Cohen billed Trump $50k for “tech services” to pay off Russian hackers? It was actually to pay a US firm (https://t.co/GGK6FQLvRJ). pic.twitter.com/TcqdN8mC4z
— Aaron Maté (@aaronjmate)9/ How about the time when you speculated that Putin installed Rex Tillerson as Secretary of State? pic.twitter.com/YiUYWdxpZ5
— Aaron Maté (@aaronjmate)11/ Then there was that time when you lamented the suspension of US war games in Korea, and speculated that it was the fault of Putin: pic.twitter.com/cuDgHyDQPs
— Aaron Maté (@aaronjmate)13/ Based on this sample alone, dare I say that your coverage of Trump-Russia very much amounts to the “deliberate trafficking in unreality”:pic.twitter.com/2OXbHhUDHa
— Aaron Maté (@aaronjmate)15/ How about when you speculated that Maria Butina may have played a role in a secret Russian government plot to funnel money to the NRA in order to influence the 2016 election? How did that one pan out? pic.twitter.com/eaRgZdauty
— Aaron Maté (@aaronjmate)17/ or when you falsely insinuated that activity in a Wikileaks grand jury was related to the Russian probe, even though the WP article you briefly flashed on screen accurately noted it “is based on [Assange’s] pre-2016 conduct, not the election hacks”: pic.twitter.com/0NyHxzfzmt
— Aaron Maté (@aaronjmate)19/ Remember earlier where we saw you suggest that Russia chose Tillerson as Sec of State? How about also when you pondered the same about Paul Manafort? “I mean, take the view from Moscow. If you know a guy who needs a presidential campaign manager, how about our friend Paul?”: pic.twitter.com/5xcFarXakV
— Aaron Maté (@aaronjmate)21/ We saw earlier that time when you speculated that Russia was responsible for Tillerson getting hired. How about that time a year later when you speculated — citing the Steele dossier — that Russia was now responsible… for Tillerson getting fired? pic.twitter.com/tozIuQ61jB
— Aaron Maté (@aaronjmate)23/ How about when you falsely claimed that a Russian government-controlled bank agreed to finance the Trump Tower Moscow project — by deceptively citing an NYT article & ignoring the parts of it that directly contradicted your claim? (I’ll show how in next tweet) pic.twitter.com/RsTELTKAsZ
— Aaron Maté (@aaronjmate)24/ To make your false claim, you isolated a sentence fragment from an NYT article: “lined up financing for the Trump Tower deal with VTB Bank.” You omitted the full sentence which shows it to be a claim by Felix Sater — & then ignored the part of the article that disproved it. pic.twitter.com/S712NKpf0Y
