Just how stupid are the Freepers?

How about an article by a totally discredited "author," posted from a blog run by the dumbest guy on the Internet?

RCIA Director John Brennan is Behind Anti-Russian Rumors, Takes Marching Orders from Obama
The Gateway Pundit ^ | 12/15/16 | Jim Hoft

Author Ed Klein says the rumors of Russian interference in the US election came from John Brennan who is receiving his marching orders from Obama. Edward Klein reported:

In telephone conversations with Donald Trump, FBI Director James Comey assured the president-elect there was no credible evidence that Russia influenced the outcome of the recent U.S. presidential election by hacking the Democratic National Committee and the e-mails of John Podesta, the chairman of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.

What’s more, Comey told Trump that James Clapper, the director of National Intelligence, agreed with this FBI assessment.

The only member of the U.S. intelligence community who was ready to assert that the Russians sanctioned the hacking was John Brennan, the director of the CIA, according to sources who were briefed on Comey’s conversations with Trump.

“And Brennan takes his marching orders from President Obama,” the sources quoted Comey as saying.

In Comey’s view, the leaks to the New York Times and the Washington Post alleging that the Russians tried—and perhaps even succeeded—in tilting the election to Trump were a Democratic Party effort to delegitimize Trump’s victory.

During their phone conversations, Comey informed Trump that the FBI had been alert for the past year to the danger that the Russians would try to cause mischief during the U.S. presidential election.

However, whether the Russians did so remains an open question

It's not that they are fucking stupid, some of them are but they still believe the TV is a source of truth.

And my big fear of this "fake news" meme is that Dictator trump will use it as an excuse to kill the FCC and gut net neutrality.

Irony is that fake news sources or calling foul on fake news.
