WaPo melts down over Cernovich and InfoWars

Yes, Cernovich accurately tweeted that Priebus was out just before it was officially announced, and ahead of any mainstream reports about that particular development. He has also helped publicize the Pizzagate conspiracy theory, which has absolutely no basis in actual facts. This matters a great deal to understanding Cernovich’s world, but it doesn’t really hurt Cernovich with his core followers: Cernovich regularly inverts any mainstream questions about his reliability into proof for his primary audience that he must be on to something. If mainstream reporters are trying to question his credibility, the logic goes, it must be because they’re scared of the competition.
quote:
Jones, along with Cernovich, also appears to agree with the new White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci, who accused Priebus of being the primary White House leaker to the mainstream press in a vulgar interview with the New Yorker earlier this week. So for them, the Priebus news is a double victory, because they believe the mainstream media has also lost a source, and they haven’t.
It doesn’t matter to their audience whether that’s true or not: humiliating the mainstream media is now basically a right-wing meme; pro-Trump journalism is often as much about the actual subject being reported as it is why they believe the mainstream media is wrong or lying about it. Any perceived win against mainstream outlets is cause for celebration.
As we’ve written before, people like to talk about the Trump Internet as if it’s playing six-dimensional chess against the entire establishment, but the thing that works for them in moments like this is likely a lot simpler: Jones and Cernovich are particularly good at volume. They are constantly producing content — on YouTube, on Twitter, on Periscope, or on their own websites.
Many of their prophecies don’t come true. When something turns out to be right, as it did Friday, it helps them to tell the story of victory that they are constantly in the pursuit of constructing, for themselves and for the movement that they believe Trump has come to represent.

"Fake news peddler" Mike Cernovich has outlasted Scott Pelley and has now humiliated the very biased Amazon/ Washington Post.

I seriously would like a scorecard on how many of Cernovich/Infowars predictions/sources were right and wrong compared to WaPos.
I really think it would be WAY closer than any leftist would admit

So Rinse fired is a mini melt.
Member how hard they melted when Comey was fired?
You can always tell the quality of a leaker...just measure the MSM melt that follows.

It won't be long before msm, WaPo and NYT sends spies into Cernovich's orbit to see where he's getting his inside info from and then figure out something from there.

Possibly but the Russia/trump collusion negates that and adds 10.
