Ron Paul claims that the ‘fake news’ hysteria gripped by the mainstream media is an inside job by the American government to divert the public’s attention away from the truth. The former Congressman issued a scathing attack on outlets peddling the idea that “fake news” sites are responsible for  spreading Russian propaganda. According to Ron Paul, mainstream media outlets are shamelessly promoting the idea that alternative media outlets are ‘fake’ and responsible for spreading ‘Russian disinformation and propaganda’.

The American and British governments have reportedly been discussing the possibility of airdropping supplies to eastern Aleppo and other besieged areas in Syria. Officials from both countries have been exploring possible ways of flying aid missions, with options ranging from parachute drops to edible drones that can be taken apart and eaten according to the Guardian Press TV reports: The report noted, however, that there has been little progress in the talks due to disagreements between government agencies. Military commanders have also been reluctant to get involved.

The US Secretary of Defense has said that the American military forces and its coalition allies need to stay in Iraq, even after the terrorist group ISIS has been defeated. Ashton Carter said terrorist groups were headed towards a lasting defeat but the US-led coalition, which has purportedly been striking Islamic State positions in Iraq since 2014, had to stay and keep training local security forces to ensure the group does not rise again Press TV reports: “But there will still be much more to do after that to make sure that, once defeated, ISIL stays defeated,” the Pentagon chief said.

Just days after ISIS claimed responsibility for the terrorist attack at Ohio State University, perpetrated by their "soldier" Abdul Razak Ali Artan, student snowflakes across the campus remain cowering in their safe spaces of denial. As Rebel Media's Faith Goldy found, students were unable or unwilling to call the attack "terrorism" with one young man calling it a "misunderstanding."

Presented in stunned silence...

Angry democrats are lashing out at anyone and anything they think contributed to Hillary's loss while vehemently igoring the simple fact that Hillary, and her many scandals, were the unilateral reason for their crushing defeat.  Be that as it may, it is far easier to blame some combination of Bernie Sanders, Putin, James Comey, "Fake News", Julian Assange, White Supremacists, The Electoral College, Jill Stein...and the list goes on and on.

Of course, as we recently noted, Obama has decided to focus his blame on Fox News and other "fake news" outlets.
