Deplorables are manipulating the news
Like most of you, I have been clicking away for the past two hours trying to find everything I can about the goldenshowergate. @realdonaldtrump's initial tweet after the news broke included a "reliable" source that discredited the story. Someone found it for him on a no name media site called "lifezette". If you google "trump" or "golden showers" or anything to do with the story now, one of the first articles to appear is the one from "lifezette". This means that who knows how many thousands of people have clicked on the site that appeared in tRump's original tweet and got the "lifezette" article uprated in order to compete with the real news stories.
Please do not click on or search for this bogus article from "lifezette". It is an obvious attempt to push fake news.

Laura Ingraham, a close Trump ally currently under consideration to be Trump’s White House press secretary, owns an online publisher called Ingraham Media Group that runs a number of sites, including LifeZette, a news site that frequently posts articles of dubious veracity. One video produced by LifeZette this summer, ominously titled “Clinton Body Count,” promoted a conspiracy theory that the Clinton family had some role in the plane crash death of John F. Kennedy, Jr., as well as the deaths of various friends and Democrats.
...
Another LifeZette video, picking up false claims from other sites, claimed that voting machines “might be compromised” because a voting machine company called Smartmatic, allegedly providing voting machines “in sixteen states,” was purchased by the liberal billionaire George Soros. Soros never purchased the company, and Smartmatic did not provide voting machines used in the general election.
One LifeZette article misleadingly claimed that the United Nations backed a “secret” Obama administration takeover of local police departments. The article referenced Justice Department orders that a select few police departments address patterns of misconduct, a practice that, in reality, long predates the Obama presidency, is hardly secret, and had no relation to the United Nations.
Another LifeZette article, which went viral in the week prior to the election, falsely claimed that Wikileaks had revealed that a senior Hillary Clinton campaign official had engaged in occult rituals. Ingraham’s site regularly receives links from the Drudge Report and other powerful drivers of Internet traffic.

Nice, reliable sourcing there, Donny boy.
