Trump misinforming voters with false Russian info

An email from Blumenthal—a confidant of Hillary Clinton and a man, second only to George Soros, at the center of conservative conspiracy theories—turned up in the recent document dump by WikiLeaks. At a time when American intelligence believes Russian hackers are trying to interfere with the presidential election, records have been fed recently to WikiLeaks out of multiple organizations of the Democratic Party, raising concerns that the self-proclaimed whistleblower group has become a tool of Putin’s government. But now that I have been brought into the whole mess—and transformed into Blumenthal—there is even more proof that the Russians are not only orchestrating this act of cyberwar but also really, really dumb.....

The Russians were quoting two sentences from a 10,000-word piece I wrote for Newsweek, which Blumenthal had emailed to Podesta. There was no mistaking that Blumenthal was citing Newsweek—the magazine’s name and citations for photographs appeared throughout the attached article. The Russians had carefully selected the “of course” paragraph, which mentions there were legitimate points of criticism regarding Clinton and Benghazi, all of which had been acknowledged in nine reports about the attack and by the former secretary of state herself. But that was hardly the point of the story, “Benghazi Biopsy: A Comprehensive Guide to One of America’s Worst Political Outrages.” The piece is about the obscene politicization of the assault that killed four Americans, and the article slammed the Republican Benghazi committee, which was engaged in a political show trial disguised as a congressional investigation—the 10th inquiry into the tragedy.

Trump wants to make liable laws against the press but he fails to check his sources and speeds lies.

Trump's base is made up of voters who want to be misinformed. They get their political news from chain e-mails and Facebook memes.

Misinforming, lol he loves the poorly educated!

His twitter has been even more ridiculous since Paul Ryan refused to stand up for him.

Libel.

It is an interesting bit of dissonance that he complains all the time about misinformation while he himself slings all kinds of rumors about without any vetting. But, I don't really expect any better of him anyway. His libel suits and threats of suits are just appropriations of the legal system to maximize his own benefit anyway -- he doesn't give a crap about the actual health of the fourth estate.

There are CF members, @fchowd0311, who still think that Clinton's server was hacked. Talk about misinformed.
