> it's screamed at me, dripping in panic: "Trump DID A THING!!!" "Cops Shoot a Guy AGAIN WHY DID THEY DO THAT?!!" No joke. Someone a while back asked here, where are all the leftist conspiracy theories? We know the right wing ones - the contrails, lizard people, Obama is a secret Muslim etc. How come the left doesn't have any? And my idea was that in a bubble environment where all the news is filtered through narrow ideological framework, the party that lost the election, is forced to come up with conspiracy theories to explain their loss. So they all watched Fox News, read Alex Jones or whatever news channel and well America is pure and good, they are the good guys but those evil Lizards from Outer Space came messed everything up at the last minute. Then I predicted then that we will have just as vibrant and colorful leftist conspiracy theories after the election, and we kinda do. The Russians in the bushes hacking elections, is one such thing. This is a massive PR campaign, it was very well done at first. And it makes the Tea Party look like a joke. It's got people in Congress on it. Journalists talking about it night and day. Though lately I think it's finally running out of steam. Or the other was the "dossier" - Trump hired hookers to pee on the bed where Obama slept. And of course it's called a "dossier" because that makes it look official and important. Impeaching Trump. If you happen to read /r/politics, which I do sometimes, you'd get the impression that in just a few days Trump will finally be impeached. I think they have an idea of impeachment that's more like someone walks into his office and tells him he's fired and then escorts him outside. I remember getting excited watching the Comey's testimony in Congress. Someone on /r/politics convinced that "Thursday he is going down, finally!" so Thursday came and nothing really happened. Comey said Trump was mean to him. Which is unfortunate, but that was about it. He had 2 scoops of ice-cream. He shook Macron's hand for too long. He made secret coded gestures toward Putin during their G20 summit dinner. It just doesn't end. These conspiracy theories and "news" are an important narrative because they explain why the election was lost. We have all been in a bubble, watching the main news channels, saw the poll results, explained as "Trump has only a 5% chance of winning" by the "experts" and "analysts" and so on. Then all of the sudden he did win and wah! instead of Lizard people it has to be the Russians or whatever. As for what news sources to look, it's really hard to find any. You might try a something like Al Jazeera, although they are biased when it comes to Middle East, especially Qatar. Usually if a country or news channel doesn't have a stake in the game, they might as well report something more fairly. But yeah I haven't really found anything reliable. Things like CNN, NBC, Washington Post, NYT have turned into what Fox used to be pretty much.
