Democrats are falling for fake news about Russia [View all] applegrove May 2017 OP

Strawman. Which Democrats on DU believe Bernie and Hannity are Russian agents? emulatorloo May 2017 #1

Louise Mensch is the one making that claim. Spider Jerusalem May 2017 #4

Hannity? LOL that's pretty wild. I know it bugs people that Sanders campaign manager bettyellen May 2017 #6

Nobody on DU is echoing those claims though. emulatorloo May 2017 #8

I've seen plenty of threads defending Mensch Spider Jerusalem May 2017 #10

Sorry, 'Tacit endorsement' argument here doesn't cut it. emulatorloo May 2017 #14

Yeah, a lot of people here are in fact Spider Jerusalem May 2017 #17

Mensch has been correct about a lot of Trump/Russia. Jones has been correct about NOTHING. emulatorloo May 2017 #18

I'll use my own judgment, just used to reading things for myself and coming to my own conclusion. ATL Ebony May 2017 #49

There's plenty of huge stories that appear to be true to make this pointless.... bettyellen May 2017 #5

I've seen more fake stories claiming there is nothing there.... muddy waters are Putin's playground bettyellen May 2017 #2

Yeah, the "no evidence of Russian Interference" nonsense from Fox types and Greenwald types. emulatorloo May 2017 #3

The Russians are denying things Trump didn't bother to! It's insane. bettyellen May 2017 #7

Here's What's Interesting Me. May 2017 #13

I agree. The rash of "Evil Mensch" OP's seem a bit OTT and obsessive. emulatorloo May 2017 #15

Great response, agree 100% ATL Ebony May 2017 #47

It's interesting yes, and nothing on Claude who backs her... bettyellen May 2017 #19

Exactly Me. May 2017 #21

Yeah I've noticed some strange stuff too. bettyellen May 2017 #23

RT crap and uncritical links to Breitbart and Fox during primary 2016 emulatorloo May 2017 #50

Exactly! bettyellen May 2017 #51

We don't believe her because she is the left's version of wing nut talk wasupaloopa May 2017 #40

The Reason Some Give Her Pause Me. May 2017 #44

Interesting. Turbineguy May 2017 #11

Glad I am skeptical on both sides when it comes to sensational stories lovemydogs May 2017 #12

I'm a retired RN. I disbelieve 50% of what I see Warpy May 2017 #22

The same Democrats who believe in aliens and Bigfoot maybe. L. Coyote May 2017 #16

Yeah, they are getting more obvious by the day. JNelson6563 May 2017 #20

The Russians did their best to interfere with our election. ... spin May 2017 #24

I do not believe that Democrats fall for fake news.... chillfactor May 2017 #26

Some of the russiasphere stuff is just wrong. I fell for it last week. Glad someone applegrove May 2017 #28

Falling for fake news is a human thing not a political one wasupaloopa May 2017 #41

Pot-stirring, concern trolling and deflection in one insipid article! FreepFryer May 2017 #29

I fell for news from these sources last week. I'm glad some on the Dem side applegrove May 2017 #30

What story and what source did you fall for? (N/t) FreepFryer May 2017 #31

Everyone mentioned by name in the article. I was made to look like a fool applegrove May 2017 #33

all of them all at once? Wow, you hit the "indiscriminate parroting of rumor as fact" lottery! FreepFryer May 2017 #39

I would say you are talking about the macro view and vox is wasupaloopa May 2017 #32
