Infowars is more like Mother Jones. None of these 4 sources would be acceptable for use in academic papers, but anyone using the latter two would be considered absolutely mental.
How are all of these unnamed sources making dubious claims used by CNN, NYT, and WaPo acceptable, especially after they have been proven to be false repeatedly?

Does Comey asking for more money for the Russian investigation ring a bell? That was put out by all the usual suspects, and it is verifiably false.

Part of pre$ident Flim-Flam's hardball propaganda machine.

The wacko fringe must be pleased ... oh, here they come now!

Yes, as I said, Jones has joint custody.

Again, leave his family out of it.

CT Sen. Chris Murphy:



UGH: Conspiracy Site Gains Access To The White House Press Room

Chris Murphy on Infowars' White House press credentials: 'I want to throw up' | TheHill
Don't forget he promoted the Birther thing and Pizzagate.

Trump seems to have more confidence in Conspiracy sites than media that investigates.

National Enquirer may be next.

Well, we do have "Free Speech" and along with that (according to liberals) should be "free access." Right? You can't have your cake and eat it too.

Don't CNN, MSNBC, Washington Post and others also have credentials? They are part of the sewer that is the "mainstream media." They pollute the waters of free speech on a daily basis with their outflows of putrid effluence.

Trump appears to have been a Democrat most of his life. Imagine if he ran as a Democrat and won the nomination and then the EC.

Imagine the reaction of Conservative media to Trump the Democrat POTUS.
