Five lies that are ricocheting infinitely within the right-wing media bubble

Here are five examples of absolute lies promoted by right-wing media figures that will infinitely bounce among right-wing audiences trapped under the bubble.

This is the Progressive news site, Nation of Change, by Reporter Cristina López G., 3 August 2017.

1. Fox News host Sean Hannity’s Seth Rich conspiracy theory
• OK, we know he was murdered and we know he worked for the DNC.
• We know the D.C. police are totally adrift on this murder.
• So, I am open to suggestions.
• And, the DNC, and DWS, have not been very cooperative with investigators, but maybe that is just the Democratic Party way.
2. Infowars host Alex Jones: “Pizzagate is real”
• Alex Jones equals not to be believed.
• No one I know trusts Alex Jones.  He is down there below Amy Goodman.
3. Radio host Rush Limbaugh: NASA lied about finding water on Mars
• I hadn't heard Rush say this.
• I plan no space missions based on Rush's assessments.
4. Fox & Friends: “Illegal aliens” are registered to vote
• Yes, next question.
• Also, I haven't heard him say the Moon landings were a hoax.
5. Breitbart.com: “Mob” of Muslims tried to burn down a German church
• I hadn't heard this.
• Based on the suppression of other news of abuse (e.g., Rotherham, UK), I wouldn't discount this.
• If "certain" Muslims would firebomb Charlie Hebdo in 2011 (and in 2015 shoot up the place), why not?  But those got publicity.

And, I have given up listening to Democracy Now, as I have, again, Howie Carr.

By the way, they are looking for donations.
