This would be George NOORY, who took over Art BELL's creation, and who is BFF of other p.o.s. Jerome CORSI the Swiftboat hit man. Last night, after hosting an expert on vote stealing techniques for two hours, after a break he excitedly said he had just been informed that there was news "all over the internet" that "Hillary's property" had been raided by the FBI, that he didn't know any more but would Google. He sounded pleased.
But in the next couple of minutes, he said that after checking it appeared to be a spam item. Sounds fine that he stopped there, no? But he certainly put it out there first, while he might have checked first and presented it as fake from the start.

Clickbait web sites posted misleading headlines claiming Hillary Clinton's property had been raided by the NYPD.[/font]
Claim: The NYPD raided Clinton's property as part of the Anthony Weiner investigation.
false
Origin:On 1 November 2016, multiple clickbait web sites shared stories with headlines that seemed to be purposely misleading, outright claiming that the New York Police Department had raided Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton's property.
In the text of the stories, however, they admit that the "property" was e-mail on a computer belonging to Anthony Weiner, a former congressman and intractable lewd picture taker: ....
The articles offer no details on where or when the alleged raid took place, and all use an image from a story about a completely separate incident involving the NYPD, which was stolen from the New York Daily News: ....
The above image, minus the overlay of Hillary Clinton's picture, was taken by photographer Sam Costanza and published in the Daily News on 22 November 2015, illustrating a story about a grisly stabbing murder of a pregnant woman. Though that story is unrelated to Clinton and her ongoing e-mail controversy, the disreputable web sites used the picture to create false optics that the NYPD had indeed raided Clinton's property and taken away evidence. ....

(70,647 posts)They are willing to believe whatever outlandishness if it supports what they want to believe - that's the m.o. the Faux Propaganda Network is based on.
But look at the technique here: First, NOORY puts something out there. He could have held it back while (giving him the benefit of the doubt) his staff did the Google thing. But then, probably the lie was all that some listeners ever heard andwere free to believe it because they heard it and cut out before the "correction". And then there are the other ones, the outright malicious actors out there who KNOW it's a lie but will spread it for heck's sake. That circus *does* have millions of fans, the vast majority of whom are gullible and/or malicious.
It's not a matter of who is going to change their vote base on NOORY. It's the anatomy of havoc of whatever degree. Meanwhile, NOORY covered himself with "integrity" for correcting something he spread in the first place.

(15,805 posts)The rightwing has doomed themselves into extinction by pandering to the fears and hatreds of old white men, bigots, racists and misogynists. Look what they've been reduced to... voter suppression tactics, government obstruction, lies and deceptions. Without Photoshop they'd have nothing.
