Trumpees want to shout Fake News? Time for a full-length documentary on Moonie News.

The GOP has relied heavily on a RW propaganda network to distribute their talking points since the early 80s.

A propaganda media empire that was begun in early 80s by a Korean cult leader, Rev Moon, with his Washington Times and grew with Insight, Townhall, Front Page, western journalism, Washington Free Beacon, and in concert with Drudge, MRC, and then breitbart.

An Australian extortionist named Rupert Murdoch began BROADCASTING that propaganda and 'news' in the mid90s on a news network he acquired to 'catapult the propaganda' for the GOP. The network relied heavily on the 'news' reports found in Moon's propaganda publications and sites.

We need a documentarian to do a timeline of the REAL Fake News that has gained so much control over this nation.

99% of Republicans have no idea a Korean cult leader and an Australian extortionist developed the vast propaganda empires they have been relying on for news and information about THIS nation.

Moon knew they needed a white southern face to be in TV and Jerry fit perfectly.
