it follows the clinton campaign strategy of blaming your opponent for the crimes you yourself have committed

The funniest single moment of the debates was when Clinton blamed problems her administration never solved on the previous administration.
They were in power for 8 fucking years. Blaming Bush for problems 8 years on is profoundly stupid.
blamed the Russians to deflect from Wikileaks
Podesta has $25M in Russian stocks hidden by a shell company owned by his daughter
says Trump misappropriates charitable donations
Clinton Foundation is a scam and Chelsea regularly used it as her personal slush fund, including $3M for her wedding
says Trump molests women
an attempt to deflect from Bill's history
etc

Because the Republicans were never dedicated to fucking up Obama
Right?
And even if they were, they never succeeded in doing exactly that. Didn't come close.
I prefer to believe the Republicans has some success in fucking over Obama.
Fucking up his attempts at gun control, his number one regret? Yep.
Fucking up his attempts at the ACA, our number one regret? Nope.

Republicans don't control the media, Hollywood, colleges, etc.

If there truly is "fake news" being reported, why don't genuine news outlets take that opportunity to publish reports proving the news is "fake" rather than censoring it? Surely, they have evidence and credible sources, and can expose the bias, lies, etc... in "fake" news reports.

Because that would be too hard, might require some actual journalism.
Or it isn't really fake news and their damage control didn't prepare for being called out.

The more they say it is fake, the less people are beliveing them. I have a feeling that this will be called a colbert effect.
Projection lol

Yes it is. I think they know they've been fingered as the guilty party, but are stuck on this course because they're all out of ideas. They're dying.

It also makes you wonder, what other future revelations are they trying to run interference for. While it's pointless to speculate, it certainly seems to lend credence to the current accusations plaguing the Clinton camp at the moment. That Hillary came out to address this at all just gives it a more rotten stench. That the MSM have marched in lockstep to parrot the words "Fake News" is also pretty damning. Once again you can see them carrying out the orders in a centralized fashion. There's enough circumstantial and peripheral evidence to confirm most of what pizzagate is espousing.

Gaslighting
It's worth dusting this term off and using it a bit more often.
Definition for those unfamiliar with it:
Gaslighting or gas-lighting is a form of psychological abuse in which a victim is manipulated into doubting their own memory, perception, and sanity. Instances may range from the denial by an abuser that previous abusive incidents ever occurred up to the staging of bizarre events by the abuser with the intention of disorienting the victim.
Politically this translates into denial campaigns like the "Fake News" thing we're seeing. It's also an aspect of the pedophilic grooming process, so obviously these fuckers would be well practiced in it.

Well, it is a strategy straight out of the Rules for Radicals ... AKA ... the demoncrap playbook.

Like blaming Trump for a divided nation and civil unrest.
