Why did Trump say that Obama spied on him? Because he did.
By Jack Hellner

What is the likelihood that the Washington Post, the New York Times, the Associated Press, USA Today or other major news outlets will cover the fact that the Obama administration repeatedly violated the law by spying on Americans from 2011 until they were almost out of office, when they finally admitted it?

Is it any surprise that an administration that would target political opponents through the IRS would do this, or an administration that would start monitoring a political opponent four months prior to the election? Does anyone think they didn’t spy on other Republicans running against Hillary? Or for that matter, her socialist challenger, Bernie Sanders?

My question remains "will anything at all be done about it?"

Rep. Trey Gowdy will be right on this.

Of course not.  Magic "D".

Propaganda is easy to spread when most of the media is in the tank for a specific agenda and against a specific person like Trump.

Why do we call it fake news now instead of propaganda?

Dumbing down of society. Half the population can't spell propaganda, the other half think it's a country in Africa.

 ^-^ Nice description.

Its use is probably a dying fad. I have this little niggling feeling that the term is a maggot. That its use won't make people ultimately pay more attention to the veracity of what they read, but will culminate in the widespread dissemination of disinformation. I mean propaganda.

Yeah. I've been known to get pissed at the term fake news for exactly that reason.

You just reminded me that the first time I heard the word "propaganda," when I was about eight, I thought
it was some new kind of laundry detergent. I learned real fast how wrong I was. ;)

This is the reason why it is entirely possible that the newly minted special prosecutor will go where the facts lead him - and the trail leads smack dab into the middle of Obama corruption.
