Washington Post Deceives Public & Profits From Fake News

21st Century Wire says…
The Washington Post has been caught lying and deceiving the public twice in the last few weeks pushing the unfounded mainstream media meme that Russia invaded the U. S. electric grid and another claiming that Russia is behind the explosion of so-called ‘fake news.’
Considering that the power grid story was proven to be a fake news story that WashPost had to later retract… We have to consider the legitimacy of any further claims the outlet has against Russia as particularly dubious.
The Intercept has some interesting analysis on how outlets such as WashPost not only deceive the public, push false state sponsored talking points but also how they profit financially from this collusion.
In the past six weeks, the Washington Post published two blockbuster stories about the Russian threat that went viral: one on how Russia is behind a massive explosion of ‘fake news,’ the other on how it invaded the U. S. electric grid. Both articles were fundamentally false. Each now bears a humiliating editor’s note grudgingly acknowledging that the core claims of the story were fiction: The first note was posted a full two weeks later to the top of the original article; the other was buried the following day at the bottom.
