The results of the Nov. 8th election made the mainstream media very, very angry — and ever since the election, they’ve been lashing out with “fake news” hit pieces.
But there’s bad news for liberals.
Turns out these so-called “fake news” attacks the left has been grasping so desperately too are — you guessed it — faked.
Once again, the “fake news” is almost entirely coming from the left.
In a widely circulated article publishing on Nov. 24th, The Washington Post took aim at conservative blogs with a McCarthy-like black list of 200 so-called Russian propaganda websites they blamed for President-elect Donald Trump’s victory at the ballot box.
Ever since, the newspaper has been subject to scorn and ridicule over the highly controversial article — and is currently facing a major lawsuit threat for libel.
Wednesday, the paper’s editor seemingly acknowledged the criticisms and very quietly began to distance his organization from the controversial hit piece using a lengthy editors note quietly tacked on to the article.
Editor’s Note: The Washington Post on Nov. 24 published a story on the work of four sets of researchers who have examined what they say are Russian propaganda efforts to undermine American democracy and interests. One of them was PropOrNot, a group that insists on public anonymity, which issued a report identifying more than 200 websites that, in its view, wittingly or unwittingly published or echoed Russian propaganda. A number of those sites have objected to being included on PropOrNot’s list, and some of the sites, as well as others not on the list, have publicly challenged the group’s methodology and conclusions. The Post, which did not name any of the sites, does not itself vouch for the validity of PropOrNot’s findings regarding any individual media outlet, nor did the article purport to do so. Since publication of The Post’s story, PropOrNot has removed some sites from its list.
Whoops.
This isn’t just a simple mistake, of course. It follows a pattern of the “fake news” feeder system put in place by the campaign of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, which The Horn News reported Wednesday may have been behind months of biased and unfounded stories, interviews, and attacks against Trump and his supporters.
In their hunt to find the people responsible for “fake news” stories, The Washington Post has finally started down the right path — it starts with liberal journalists looking in a mirror.

Hey Horn News! I enjoy your articles BUT am tired of seeing Hillary’s face. Please remover her picture from almost all of the articles. It is the same disgusting picture of her. Would you show us a pic of Satan? Well you have: Hillary.
Have to agree. You’d think if they insist on displaying Hitlery they’d at least show a different picture every once & awhile. The best thing to do is NOT SHOW IT AT ALL !!!!!
Please post them again when she’s in prison garb ;+)
Yes. I agree with Jeff.
If you can’t do that, then only post photos of her in her orange pantsuit!
Agreed… Remove her face. She is a looooser and no one cares. She is NO longer news worthy…It’s beating a dead horse…and everyone’s sick of looking at her
Agreed. And while we’re at it, can everyone PLEASE stop referring to her as Hillary? It turns my stomach that so many use such familiarity, as though she’s a friend. How about calling her Clinton?
Hillary is right there was massive voter fraud , it seems to have all been done by her own supporters and favored her. What a stupid shit she is. If you think your followers might have done some thing wrong why not demand on national TV that it needs to be investigated. I believe the Democrats faked millions of ballots across this country. They are probably ever extra vote she received where faked votes and Illegal aliens, Non Americans and the dead.
Here here.
You do realize that the Washington Post is a Conservative Newspaper don’t you!
yeah and i’m queen eliza
How wrong you are. That statement would have been correct 15 years ago but since Jeff Besos, owner of Amazon, bought the Washington Post it has become just another liberal leftist propaganda rag. If you’re a Kool-Aid drinking, Republican-hating libtard, by all means keep reading the Washed Up Post. It will make you feel good about yourself by reinforcing your narrow views.
The Demo M.O. is to accuse their enemy of doing exactly what they’re doing so they can carry out their plans without being noticed. There is no Russian connection – that was made up by Russia-hating George Soros who wants to destroy Putin. Putin at this point is a good guy – his reputation is based on Russia’s controversial past – much like America continues to wear the historic marks of racism and slavery, which were both Democratic creations that were rooted out years ago – yes, there are still racists on both sides, but not government instituted! Ever since they formed the KKK, carried out the lynchings until the Republican Party went after them – imposed all the Jim Crow Laws and used attack dogs and fire hoses on the marchers in Selma in 1965 (Geo. Wallace, Bull Connor and Sheriff Jim Clark were ALL Democrats) – the Democrats have attacked and terrorized the black community – blaming their racist work on the Republicans. Even today, the Dem’s calls black Republicans Oreo’s, Aunt Jemimas and Uncle Toms, as if they don’t have an equal right at choosing what party to belong to. This isn’t the 1800’s – but the Democrats wish it were. Trump wants to rebuild the inner cities and provide quality education to ALL kids. For as long as the Democrats have held power – they’ve never called blacks Dreamers – only illegals. You shall know them by their fruits.
Right on
MrTruth you done hit the nail on the head I get all my news from the horn which is completely unbiased and you can tell by all capital letters and big words.
Only those idiots who have to resort to name calling of people they don’t agree and comment on stuff they have no clue about should not be listened to!!! They should just shut their mouths!!!!
PATRIOT1000 HOW STUPID CAN YOU GET KEEP POSTING AND WE WILL ALL FIND OUT !
Patriiot1000 … “Patriot” my a$$.
WOPO has been a liberal rag as long as I can remember, and I can remember back about 70 years. Maybe they weren’t quite as bad during the ’50s but they were certainly a left leaning paper then as well as now.
Of course its not their falt, its the falt of the made up lieing sauce the media relies on, there political benefactor. Plus it keeps the advertising money coming in from the left. The Media commit treason on a daily bases, think nothing of giving up troop positions, giving away secret raids before they happen, This will not happen with Trump, hopefully you will all be hanged as spy’s as you would have in WW2 for destroying the lives of our brave boys, you should be made to apologize, naming the sauce of your benefactor who paid you to bring false filthy stories against a person that cares about this country not his or her power or self worth. Left wing communist Collage professors who have destroyed the minds of our youth for years, need to start packing your bags, you have all been outed, get out while you can, you will be going to jail for treason.
You got to be kidding
Washing Post is liberal democraric not news worthy
The Washington Post endorsed Barak Obama for President of the United States in 2008 and 20012. The Washington Post endorsed Hillary Clinton for President of the United States in 2016. Are you confusing the Washington Post with the Washington Examiner? With their endorsement record I don’t see how anyone could consider the Washington Post a conservative newspaper.
Washington Post is a Libtard Rag…and I have some ocean front property in Arizona for you.
Conservative on a scale sdesigned by liberal fatheads …
If you consider yourself conservative, you must be Mitch McConnell or Lindsay Graham … or maybe John McCain?
Not since Bezos took over.
more fake news! even in the comment section! they just can’t let it go, so they troll us!
One can’t be too careful with words. After all, words are things. For starters, take the word “liberal”. There is nothing liberal and a liberal! Besides, liberalism is an utterly reactionary philosophy. We’re not dealing with liberals here. We’re squaring-off with greenie fascists; oligarchical fascist elitist bigots, quite frankly.
Liberalism is a mental disorder
Michael, yes liberalism is a mental disorder. The terms liberal and progressive have been well thought out. They have been synonymous with open mind and intellectual thinking and nearly everybody wants to be in this category, but the truth is the left has twisted these words with their hidden agenda of instituting socialism/Marxism end game communism.
Washing post is not conservative news they printed fake news and other times they printed other untruths
The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, and the Boston Herald would be much better papers if they were 2 ply
LOL !!!
If they used less ink, too !
The Washington Post lost all credibility when it was bought by that left-wing elitist Jeff Besos (owner of Amazon). Liberals feel that the ends justify the means when their sycophantic journalists value their paychecks more than objectively reporting the news. This should not come as a surprise to anyone. Liberals do as they please, say as they please and get away with it all by labeling anyone who has the audacity to call them out on their bullshit as a racist, homophobe, etc.
Fake news about fake news? That is weird. Apparently the mainstream media is not too fond of the competition for fake news.
That would be “fake fake news.”
Hillary lost right?? GET HER OFF the news, NO ONE cares. Please don’t tell me Horn, is siding with the Obama / Clinton admin…, they are out and should stay out of the media.
Wull … there would be small doubt were Hill liar to be found mentally limited given screaming fits and tantrums and all because she has no chance ever again for her “Tiara” to adorn her “pointed head” should she ever again ATTEMPT to enter OUR WHITE HOUSE,
Hill Liar has DONE HERSELF IN; can we be free of her AT LAST? No longer has CNN or MSNBC any credibility whatever; FOX, however, excels in reliable news and information, given they have allowed Hill liar time and prominence on their network; but ooh, la la, Hill liar is not on a crusade against “Fake News,” and she scolds how it can be so damaging as if referring to her “LOSS” when she had nothing to offer as grounds for election as “The President” of the US? She erred on HANNITY when three genuinely intelligent guests rattled her memory as to when she claimed ducking bullets (children bringing her bouquets in a hot spot); then even as to Benghazi; AND following up with all the baggage she has packed over her years !! Such a pathetic beggar of public empathy!! .. Such a “scold?” Thank Goodness; Good Riddance.
The article is about the Washington Post, right? How ’bout a pic of the new owner thereof, instead?
After all, this article has nothing to do with The Liar-now-The-Loser…and hopefully, soon, The Convict.
On-point to the article, i’m glad to see that they’re backing away; who knows? Perhaps the Truth will matter to them again, especially as they lose more subscribers and advertising revenue.
Besides, no one should EVER trust ANY MSM “news” stories, and several studies show that less than 6% of Americans trust them AT ALL – and now, what with the Judicial Watch, Wikileaks, and Project Veritas disclosures – among MANY others – even THAT tiny number is plummeting, especially among those who watch Fox news then look for similar articles at the shill press like NBC, CBS, ABC, & CNN, for starters. BTW, their numbers are plummeting, as well.
For me, the bottom line is that this whole “fake news” meme is a thinly-disguised attack on free speech which is doomed to failure. Everyone is free to compete in the marketplace of ideas, and eventually, the Truth wins out because the Lie cannot be trusted. That said, Machiavelli once observed:
“For the great majority of mankind are satisfied with appearances, as though they were realities, and are often more influenced by the things that seem than by those that are.”
— Niccolo Machiavelli(1469-1527) Italian Statesman and Political Philosopher
These are the days of the great Awakening, however – and the CIA-controlled MSM are on the wrong side of history. What am i talking about, you say?
“The Central Intelligence Agency owns everyone of any significance in the major media.”
— William Colby(1920-1996) former Director of the CIA

One should note that he did not limit this remark to JUST the United States, either. Germany’s MSM press has been similarly infiltrated and controlled. For now, we have the Internet – but i strongly suspect that this post, too, will receive the “your comment is awaiting moderation” label again, a nice psy-op which not only prevents today’s readers from benefiting from their ability to read it, but discourages posters from sharing their knowledge…and has already caused many to cancel their subscriptions to The Horn “news,” too.
Constitutionalist, well stated.
To be fair, all of my posts that have been marked by The Horn as awaiting moderation have eventually made it into the comment section.
Papers like the post ALWAYS put the sensationalized stories on the front page. But, when they find they have made an error print the retraction buried deep inside the paper in a place they hope no one will notice. Then they wonder why no one trust them and their sales are down. These papers make their big money on advertising sales. They promise to get the ad to x amount of readers. When everyone cancels their subscriptions or quit buying that paper, they still have to get the ads to x amount of people or lose the contract. So they give the papers away for free, when it gets to that point refuse the free paper. They lose their advertising contracts and we can kiss them goodbye. People have the power for them to succeed or fail and only the people if there is no demand for their rag they are done. They have 2 choices keep on like they have been doing and disappear like the dinosaurs or start reporting the news and just the news – not their damned opinions.
Mike W-
their damned opinions.
Maybe literally so, too: the Revelation of John says that all liars will have their part in the lake of fire.
The “Liberal” lies just get bigger and better with time.
This generation may never live long enough to see honest news. I can tell you what it looks like. The front page of your newspaper will display 40 to 50 one or two paragraph news items. One to two paragraphs is all that’s required to accurately report any news item. All the rest of a modern news story is opinion. Today’s papers have only 3 or 4 news items on their front pages and they don’t bother sorting opinion from fact, as was the practice years ago. Why? Two major reasons, laziness and dishonesty. These traits will take years to replace, since most Publishers are dishonest liberals, and the ranks of Reporters are filled with below average intellect, from this countries biased Universities.
Ronald S. Zimney-
Just got this quote in yesterday; seems quite germaine to what you posted.
“I used to be employed as a field engineer servicing [a major broadcast network’s] distribution equipment, specifically their affiliates’ satellite dishes. I’ve had many talks with TV newsmen. The most telling was one who confessed that he didn’t think he could continue his job and live with himself because he daily saw ‘the difference between what I am forced to report and what’s really happening.’ He told me that, at the first meeting with ‘corporate’s’ news director [from the corporate holding company that owned the station, not the network], the ND told them that ‘our job as reporters was to shape public opinion.’ When someone protested that their job was to discover and report the truth, the ND responded, ‘Whatever the public’s perception is – is the truth – and it’s your job to make sure that they have the proper perceptions.’ That man’s statement is always in the back of my mind whenever I see or read anything in the ‘news,’ that the job of reporters today is not to report hard, verifiable facts but rather to shape public opinion using selected facts presented in (a) carefully arranged fashion.”
— Chris Meissen
Ronald Zimney and constitutionalist, your both right, years ago facts on the issue were reported and a reporters/journalist reputation was on the line for reporting the truth, but our country’s population was a third of today’s. Illegals were deported, straight talk and honesty were still in and a persons words was his bond. Break the bond and your reputation was at stake. With liberalism we now have to be told by a committee of interpreters what was said or meant by what someone said. reporters/journalist no longer report the facts or truth, but have been retrained in our University’s to report their opinion or the news stations opinion of facts to satisfy the propaganda machine. Once we started down this road it became obvious to the propagandist how to shape public opinion. The problem with this type of reporting is journalist figured out how to sway public opinion, but like all lies and liars they get exposed for the liars they are. We (most of us) knew Hillary was a compulsive liar, but Trump exposed her to all the people, but liberalism is about “the end justifies the mean” and is agenda driven. Hopefully Trump and the American people wake up this time and really do drain the swamp through out our country. Our schools,universities and DC are a good start.
How wise and absolutely the higher limits of intelligent interpretation. While in Graduate School and curious about “journalists” and their seeming lack of “depth,” I perused a sampling of representative curriculum of the “journalism major” and in progress of MBA credential .. and found “journalism” absolutely shallow!! And more to the point, as a political activist, in the LA CA area, that some four or five serious political scandals among venues bordering Los Angeles survived any threat of pesky investigations for years!! A Quid Pro Quo among LAPD and UNIIONS?
We could boycott Horn news until they show hilary/kilart/hitary id prison jumpsuit and !behind bars
JG, I wish to also see the traitor Hillary behind bars, but I fear that’ll never come to be.
I imagine that she would never be able to handle the thought of prison and will commit suicide or her husband will take out a contract hit on her out of sympathy.
I started feeling sorry for her and her fabrications but she keeping attacking President Trump and now I hope she is investigated
I was feeling sorry for Hillary but what she saying now I hope they investigate her for all her emsils
I remember writing a history research paper at university and making sure that I had primary source material as the bulk of my data. My history professor was impressed that I paid attention to detail. It sounds as if the MSM could hire some people to do their research….If only so many reporters understood the proper way to conduct research….
Dear Horn News,
Please don’t stop putting up pictures, even if they are the same. A face should always be included with the list of crimes so we don’t forget. Kind of like the wanted posters back in the day. Out of sight out of mind. The fact that so many people are angry about it means your doing the right thing, don’t let your readers fall asleep at the wheel. Keep it fresh in our minds until justice is served.
I still get a Facebook contact from a Latina individual, who I know, that was pro Hillary during the campaign. Now it disseminates info about Trump as a Nazi and Trump as a racist bigot who was endorsed by the Klu Klux Klan. It is race baiting and none of the Info is true. I wonder if individuals were paid to send out campaign info then after Hillary lost the campaign they continued to pay these individuals for using their Facebook pages for hate mongering. 4 women ,from different backgrounds, were on a panel on FOX complaining about receiving these hate mails from individuals on their Facebook pages; One woman closed her account the others just deleted the contacts. There must be a law about using social media for hate information. This site was the same one that sent me the photos of Mrs. Trump.
They’re just too funny, haha!!! With all the phony B.S. put out there by Hil-Liar-y’s campaign and the “alphabet” news channels, I find it hil-liar-ous that they even dare to come out with this latest round of accusations. Hil-Liar-y, Democraps, and media should get lost as they are truly unacceptable for America………this election really turned my head around!
Clinton and Democrook Party corruption has FINALLY caught up with them… People are sick and tired of being sick and tired of it. The People have spoken. The Democratic Crime Syndicate including the Clinton’s are…OUT!!!…OUT!!!…OUT!!! HALLELUJAH !!!………Praise the Lord…God Bless America…and God Bless Donald Trump.
I second that
We are all caught up in the corrupt politics of our poor judgement of these dirty leaders.
We don’t realize that we are being poisoned from above.The weather and our health are
on the line with the spraying of CHEM TRAILS in our sky.We all may suffer worst down
the road.Please check out this practice by our elite along with our leaders.
And, what happened to all those Trump-groping accusatory women?? They suddenly disappeared from all discussions; I haven’t heard a peep about them since it became obvious that they were paid to paint him as some sort of BillClinton (woman-groping, sex-addict, rapist).
Too funny.
*major lawsuit THREAT*
Pay attention fucktards.
Same was made by your pederast-elect and no lawsuit. Why not, you braniacs might ask if not for your heads well up your asses?
Countersuits would be won and very costly.
True is two rivers of steaming shit were what was left from which to choose and fake news played a big part in Adolph Trumps EC *win* and I’m thrilled at the prospect of my next courtship beginning with grabbing them her the pussy but not as happy as for the major possibility of seeing bombs shredding people here in the fatherland.
Assuming the joint chiefs will hand over codes to the only one ever impeachable the same day inaugurated, if it gets that far.
Pass the popcorn.
*our standards*? Wtf are your standards? This crap? You don’t have standards and are fiercely fucked up but not even close to patriotic slinging this bullshit.
Free speech my ass. Fuck you, in all fairness. Haha
It’s not the Russians attempting to rig the election. It was our own lame street media!!!!
Just remember~~the Russians are coming, the Russians are coming. Rest in peace, Obummer will no longer be in office, and normal diplomatic relations can then continue. Putin used Obummer like his bitch.
The Liberal left are the poster children for;
Lying
Insensitive
Bullying
Egotistical
Rude
Asinine
Loudmouths
CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, NPR, and FOX your time is coming to an end. You don’t report the news, you report propaganda, you twist facts and spew outright lies and you have the audacity to call other outlets that actually report the news “Fake news” I hope all of your organizations die a slow painful death.
