ORIGINAL: heavyblinker Let's see... partisan information sources with zero accountability, mysterious 'sources' that are probably janitors, and a Fox News Reporter who for some reason isn't reporting it for Fox News. Seems legit. If it turns out to be bullshit then I'm sure someone from the FBI will say so. The information source you posted has zero accountability because nobody has the time, patience or energy it would need to debunk every single lie it tells. The FBI is NOT going to respond to them because they know they're a fucking joke... and so should you. I doubt they've broken any laws-- FOX does the same thing by interviewing 'climate change experts' with no scientific background whatsoever simply because they say what their target audience wants to hear. It has nothing to do with how relevant or valuable their perspective is in terms of helping you understand the issue. It's about being able to state that someone who they can describe in a legitimate-sounding way has supported their political perspective. These outlets exist only to feed you the bullshit you want to hear in order to get your indignation fix. They know that in a few days you won't care that what they said was a lie, because your attention will be focused on a brand new piece of bullshit that produces the same effect. That momentary thrill is all you will care about, which is exactly what is happening now. I'm not saying I haven't also been guilty of compulsively checking the news to see what brand new shitstorm is joining this mother of all shitstorms... but seriously, the reality is already sensational enough without having to bring conspiracy sites and other fake news sites into the mix.
