The level of disinformation is legitimately getting spooky to me

I have traveled enough to see real propaganda from the media. Until this year, I would never have put the US media in this category. Biased? Yes. Manipulative? Individually, yes. System wide "programming"? Couldn't get there.
I am starting to think otherwise. The tweet from Donna Brazile about the Russians undermining our democracy got me digging around on some of the threads shooting off from it. One was (inevitably) about her passing questions along to HRC. One post called the whole thing "fake news", and linked to Snopes. Yeah, I know, Snopes will color everything blue whenever it can. Until I read this, though, I just considered it typical selective interpretation. This entry, though, is just so over the top in both syntax and premise that I could not believe what I was reading.
I swear, it's like I felt a sudden urge to start playing solitaire.

This fake news story about the first presidential debate was a complete fabrication and is unrelated to later claims that Donna Brazile might have provided the Clinton campaign previews of questions to be asked at much earlier Democratic primary (i.e., non-presidential) events.

On the bright side, everyone understands they are making things up

The media isn't laughing anymore!
Look who runs corporate America, it is the international clique that wants money and power at all costs.

We are going to learn that the new 'fact checking' industry is going to be as big a bunch
of fraudulent propagandist as the the so called fake news that they are trying to correct.

I wish.
It amazes me how often I have to enlighten people using the wisdom and insight we share among ourselves on this board.
Don't kind yourself. We are in a bubble of our own here. It's a righteous bubble, and may be the last hope of mankind, but we are the minority.

Yeah, the Big 6 have finally realized they no longer really control the media anymore, so they're doing everything in their power to lie to the American public to make them rely on mainstream media.

The msm have only themselves to blame.
They created this when they decided to sell out their objectivity and credibility to become propaganda shills for the Democrat Party.
Everybody knows it now. They can never go back. They can only attempt to stifle which will fail and further their descent.
There is literally no difference between outfits like NPR and banana republic state media.

I understand what you mean, but it may not tell the whole story. The people on political blogs, message boards etc, are some of the most dedicated to the information, that doesn't account for the masses who stand for the principles, but are mostly unnoticed.

Only low information people believe Snopes and Politifact. I am pretty sure they are 2 of the 4 organizations that will be on the "Fake News Police" force.
The left is like that sad drunk guy at the blackjack table who keeps losing and taking more cash out of the atm and losing and repeat.

Western Civilization has a disease.
Look around Marxist circles and you'll figure it out.
We need chemotherapy.

Unless I'm mistaken, this is actually correct. I was under the impression that Donna leaked questions to Hill for her debate with Bernie.
I've never heard anything about Donna leaking Hillary questions for the Presidential debate against Trump.
Correct me If I'm wrong...

Ain't no MIGHT about it. She did leak.

But did she leak questions against Bernie or Tump? Or both?

I believe this article was from before Wikileaks, and I think it was later updated. I think it's talking about a story written before we found out the actual fact about brazille.

At best, a distinction without a difference. The last part of the text is the WTF phrase. Are primaries for the presidential nomination "non-presidential"?

You pinpointed what I think is the updated part of the article.
My hypothesis was correct.
