PBS reports on Fake News: they should start with the biggest fake news story: Clinton's email
"scandal".
http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/will-new-tools-help-facebook-users-get-facts-fake-news/
attempted to post this comment on PBS Newshour site. But it doesn't look like they're going to let it appear so I'll post it here.
IF you are going to report on Fake News you should start out with the biggest Fake News story of the election: Hillary Clinton's email "scandal".
You GOP toadies who make up M$M have talked more about Clinton's emails than any thing else. When Comey in the congressional hearing was questioned by Rep Matt Cartwright about the lack of Classified Headers on ANY of the emails in question, Comey had to admit - THAT NOT ONE OF THE EMAILS HAD A CLASSIFIED HEADER ON IT. When Cartwright asked Comey if it wasn't, in the lack of any classified headers, a reasonable inference for Sec Clinton to infer that there was no classified info in any of the emails. COMEY HAD TO ADMIT THAT WAS A REASONABLE INFERENCE FOR SEC CINTON TO MAKE. THUS COMEY CONFIRMED CLINTON DID NOT LIE WHEN SHE SAID SHE HAD NOT SENT OR RECEIVED ANYTHING MARKED CLASSIFIED.

How many people actually know that Clinton did not violate any laws or regulations in how she handled emails? How many people know that not one of the emails in question was initiated by Clinton. They were all sent to, or forwarded to her.
But PBS Newshour and all the rest of M$M dared not report this anytime, anywhere. That would have debunked the narrative of Hillary Clinton, the untruthful, untrustworthy 'witch of the West'.
But despite the thousands of hours of insinuations and tendentious reportage, to help the GOP, Hillary Clinton won the election. But in one case, the Fraudster was correct, the election WAS rigged. HE won because the Electoral College and rules by states to award all their electors to the candidate who won in their state rather than in proportion to popular vote. Democracy be damned!
to find out the truth about the emails, readers should see: The real Clinton email scandal is that a bullshit story has dominated the campaign;

IF people want to be informed of the FACTS they would be better off going to www.HuffingtonPost.com, www.Democaticunderground.com, www.Thinkprogress.org, www.Politicususa.com, www.Newsweek.com, to name a few sites. If people want to know the facts and what is really happening they should turn off M$M GOP approved news, such as yours.
