Around the time of the election, they were dropping hints of what was to come -- before the Comey memo came out.

Jim Hoft Finally Officially Designated As The Dumbest Man On The Internet With Reed Irvine Award

If you have never heard of the group “Accuracy in the Media” (AIM), do not feel ashamed. AIM can be easily lost in the fetid open sewer that is the conservative movement’s various political groups/tax shelters. However, once a year this organization decides to rise from above the primordial soup of right wing insanity to engage in a blatant act of trolling against the forces of progressivism and the entire concept of veracity by giving some jackass an award for “outstanding achievements in investigative journalism.” This year that jackass is Jim Hoft, the man universally known as the “dumbest man on the internet.” It is certainly a huge honor for Hoft, and outside of fellow St. Louis resident/moran Josh “Randy” Sullivan we could not think of a more deserving designee.

AIM was started by a Reed Irvine, a man who once denied that the El Mozote Massacre took place based purely on Reed’s own perception that the person reporting the deaths of over 800 civilians was a filthy communist. Irvine died in 2004 after a career highlighted by his role in promoting the conservative masturbatory narrative regarding the Vince Foster conspiracy and his general existence as a complete embarrassment to any idealized notion about the benefits of a free press. Given this splendid reputation, it makes sense that the award in his name is finally being bestowed upon the Imo’s Pizza of internet punditry, Jim Hoft.

That's what I know, Triron.

Our brains are wired to remember whatever we hear a number of times. Those are tagged as important information, even if we know they're not true, and stored for reference.

Napoleon, Hitler, Stalin all knew that if you repeat a lie enough times people WILL believe it. Today's professional swiftboaters make them look like the amateurs they were. This is why.
