Former congressman Ron Paul revealed a list of \u201cfake news\u201d journalists he claims are responsible for \u201cbogus wars\u201d and lies about Hillary Clinton\u2019s chances of winning the election. Journalists from CNN, the New York Times, and the Guardian are included.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis list contains the culprits who told us that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and lied us into multiple bogus wars,\u201d<\/em> according to a report on his website, Ron Paul Liberty Report<\/a>. Paul claims the list is sourced and \u201cholds a lot more water\u201d<\/em> than a list previously released by Melissa Zimdars<\/a>, who is described on Paul\u2019s website as \u201ca leftist feminist professor.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThese are the news sources that told us \u2018if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor,\u2019\u201d<\/em>\u00a0he said. \u201cThey told us that Hillary Clinton had a 98% of winning the election. They tell us in a never-ending loop that \u2018The economy is in great shape!\u2019\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Paul\u2019s list includes the full names of the \u201cfake news\u201d<\/em> journalists as well as the publications they write for, with what appears to be hyperlinks to where the allegations are sourced from. In most cases, this is WikiLeaks, but none of the hyperlinks are working at present, leaving the exact sources of the list unknown.<\/p>\n CNN is Paul\u2019s biggest alleged culprit, with nine entries, followed by the NY Times and MSNBC, with six each. The NY Times has recently come under fire from President-elect Donald Trump, who accuses them of being \u201ctotally wrong\u201d<\/em> on news regarding his transition team, while describing them as \u201cfailing.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n The failing @nytimes<\/a> story is so totally wrong on transition. It is going so smoothly. Also, I have spoken to many foreign leaders.<\/p>\n \u2014 Donald J.

In an email from the Democratic National Committee (DNC) released by WikiLeaks<\/a>, the DNC staff discusses sending questions to CNN for an interview with Donald Trump.<\/p>\n Also listed is NY Times journalist Maggie Haberman, whom leaked emails showed working closely with Clinton\u2019s campaign to present the Democratic candidate in a favorable light.<\/p>\n READ MORE: New leak reveals extent of Clinton ties with US media<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n So-called \u2018fake news\u2019 has been recently attacked by US President Barack Obama, who claimed that false news shared online may have played a role in Donald Trump\u2019s victory in the US presidential election.<\/p>\n Facebook head Mark Zuckerberg has now said that the social media site may begin entrusting third parties with filtering the news.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Zuckerberg hints at third-party news verification to fight \u2018fake news\u2019 on Facebook<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Via RT<\/a>.
