The washington post recently printed a staggering hypocritical article on fake news:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/russian-propaganda-effort-helped-spread-fake-news-during-election-experts-say/2016/11/24/793903b6-8a40-4ca9-b712-716af66098fe_story.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/russian-prop...
This is a rag that has been a sock puppet for the DNC since forever.
