The National Laughingstock Doubled Down on Deception In Making False Statements to the Public In Defense of Its Indefensible "Russia Hacked Vermont's Electric Grid" #FakeNewsThe Washington Post is The National Laughinstock and I'll call it that from now on. They didn't just peddle more #FakeNews from their limitless stock of the stuff-- they then offered false statements to explain why their #FakeNews was so abysmally fake. Via Jazz Shaw,this Forbes demolition derby is worth reading in full. I can't except enough of it to make it make sense without "excerpting" it all, so you'll have to just bite the bullet and read the article. But the gist of it is this: The National Laughingstock, attempting to explain its latest #FakeNews fiasco, claimed falsely that they had in fact contacted the relevant power companies to see if the story was even remotely true. But it turns out they didn't -- not until after the story had been published. They didn't even do that tiny amount of fact checking until after they'd injected this viral #FakeNews into the national bloodstream. It turns out that the reason that Burlington Electric did not response to the Post's prepublication request for comment is that the Post actually did not reach out for comment until after it had already run its story. The Post's article went live on its website at 7:55PM EST, but according to Mr. Kanarick, the first contact from the Post was a phone call from reporter Adam Entous at 8:05PM, 10 minutes after the Post's story had been published. Do read the whole thing. It's infuriating these #FakeNews peddlers continue lecturing about fake news. And on that, remember it was the National Laughingstock that reported on a "study" conducted by anonymous people with no demonstrable expertise which purported to list websites which were state-sponsored Russian propaganda (or, as a walk-back would have it, sometimes published stories congruent with state-sponsored Russian propaganda). Glenn Greenwald -- yeah yeah, I know -- ripped National Laughingstock for that particularly filthy bit of #FakeNews. In his article, the Posts Timberg did not include a link to PropOrNot's website. If readers had the opportunity to visit the site, it would have become instantly apparent that this group of ostensible experts far more resembles amateur peddlers of primitive, shallow propagandistic cliches than serious, substantive analysis and expertise; that it has a blatant, demonstrable bias in promoting NATO's narrative about the world; and that it is engaging in extremely dubious McCarthyite tactics about a wide range of critics and dissenters. Okay, I made that last one up. It's a classic for a reason, though. But anyway: As for their refusal to identify themselves even as they smear hundreds of American journalists as loyal to the Kremlin or "useful idiots" for it, this is their mature response:We'll consider revealing our names when Russia reveals the names of those running its propaganda operations in the West ???? The National Laughingstock is just Slate with coverage of the local sports teams now. I'm not even sure it rises to the level of Slate. | Recent Comments
