A now-notorious list of ostensibly “fake” news sites — created by a liberal professor, seemingly out of thin air — spread like wildfire online late last year, and was eagerly reprinted by corporate media presstitutes hoping to vindicate their own failed reporting on the 2016 election. This was, in no uncertain terms, a hit list — or, at least, a laughable attempt, branding perfectly legitimate outlets with the same scarlet letter as those actually devoid of integrity in a spurious attempt to defame alternative and independent media as a whole. (i.e. anyone dissenting from the mainstream narrative.) It also fit conveniently into the establishment’s burgeoning war on independent media, disguised as a battle against fake news.
