Wait, you mean Louise Mensch has been spreading fake news?
Get outta here.
Congrats once again to all those people who heralded @LouiseMensch & @TrueFactsStated as credible sources. Great job https://t.co/lGZKtWig1x

From The Guardian:
Explosive allegations about Donald Trump made by online writers with large followings among Trump critics were based on bogus information from a hoaxer who falsely claimed to work in law enforcement.
The source’s false tips included an allegation, which has been aggressively circulated by Mensch and Taylor, that Trump’s inactive fashion model agency is under investigation by New York authorities for possible sex trafficking.
The hoaxer, who fed the information to Taylor by email, said she acted out of frustration over the “dissemination of fake news” by Taylor and Mensch.
Yikes.
Well luckily no one took these stories about Trump all that seriously … oh wait.
Dear lord. Excellent judgment, @donnabrazile, @tribelaw & @JoyAnnReid in building this up. Honorable mention to NYT & @KeithOlbermann pic.twitter.com/siMmftOEYv

Donna Brazile got a little fussy with Glenn:
Glenn, go find some joy. https://t.co/IiXmVZDOvu

Hey, it’s not Glenn’s fault Donna was desperate to believe these things and was easily swayed by FAKE NEWS.
She did what all effective con artists do: she fed them what she knew they wanted to hear. And they gobbled it up.

Yup.

Ouch.
Let’s be honest, Donna wouldn’t recognize an ethic if one fell out of the sky, landed on her face and started to wiggle.
