Did CNN just blast the Onion for publishing some 'facts' they couldn't uncover?

PS
IMO you do have a party connection, it just isn't in Canada.

��Nothing on this page is real��: How lies become truth in online America

Christopher Blair's political satire page �� started during the 2016 presidential campaign as a practical joke by him and a few other liberal bloggers �� has become one of the most popular on Facebook among Trump-supporting conservatives over 55.

In the past two years on his page, America��s Last Line of Defense, Blair has made up stories about California instituting sharia, former president Bill Clinton becoming a serial killer, undocumented immigrants defacing Mount Rushmore, and former president Barack Obama dodging the draft during the Vietnam War when he was 9.

��Share if you��re outraged!�� his posts often read, and thousands of people do, clicking ��like�� and then ��share�� on posts most of them don't recognize as satire.

Still believing everything you read in the Washington Post , I see . Have any of their predictions about Trump come to pass ? Gee remember when they told you Trump would never win the primaries? That Trump would not win the presidency and Hillary was a lock ? Russian collusion . Maybe it is time to change sources.

Comparing articles is better than dropping one only to let one be the replacement. One close to each side and an intermediate source .
This is my intermediate on for the Mid-East. I have to admit the relationship of the PM and the KSA and France is bizarre in that he is close to them than to the people who voted him in.
