Just because I am a fucking cynic

All of the sudden....the "story" is the fake news sites.
Google is blocking them. Facebook probably will soon. Media is talking about them.

However....none of this happened pre-election, only post-election.

My inner cynic says that this will be what they use to shut down liberal news sites.

I don't believe that nothing is by accident anymore--not even this.

2. The fake news crew was going to contract once the Racist-in-Chief won even w/o Google and Facebook.

Actions by Google and Facebook to reign in fake news will simply hasten the demise of the phenomena, a demise that started on November 9.

The fake news industry thrived because it was basically a support group for right wing idiots. Once their leader won, those idiots no longer had any need for that type of support system. Many of the fake news sites would have withered (and will wither) naturally due to a lack of demand as those idiots can turn on the TV or go to any news website and read everything they want about their leader.

The fake news people should have realized that their long term success and growth would be assured if Clinton had won. The idiots on the right would still be clamoring for someone, somewhere to feed their crazy outlooks and twisted egos during President Clinton's administration.
