She’s a fraud.

She’s called Malcolm Nance, Joy Reid, Preet Bahara, and many more russian disinfo agents.
She called the march for truth organizers russian actors
She has 600k+ resistance accounts on a blocklist for her followers
She plants in her followers heads that msm is not to be trusted
She discourages the release of info on trump, saying intel has all they need.

I thought the whole gop would be indicted. Many did. Many have theorized things she has. But it still hasnt happened, so how has she been accurate. She also backpedals and edits her posts on patribotics to appear she predicted something.

She is a chaos agent who still works for murdoch (she slipped and mentioned her “boss wouldnt like something”) and takes people down a rabbit hole where they dont pay attention to anything but her.

She could be on here too, along with her “assistants in chaos” who incidentally are all conservatives.

Tue Jan 2, 2018, 08:37 PM
Jan 2018

Sometimes it is an early warning system for what might be coming.

Louise Mensch seems to be one of the more volatile and admitted right wing on twitter, BUT when she turns the initial twitter rumblings into her official blog stories on her Patriotic site they seem a lot more on point. A large part of her Patriotic stories end up being proven out even months later in the mainstream. And when she is outright wrong she updates her stories with what she got wrong.

So twitter feeds are pretty much rumor and scuttle butt. Mensch and others blog post are a bit more serious, maybe on par with a Daily KOS journal, or a DU writer. Certainly not main stream, and hang your hat on it certain. But worth watching for some of us anyhow.

Fox is not msm.

Msm isnt unreliable. They actually have to get multiple sources to confirm a story or its a no go. That is REAL reporting. They have to especially do that now otherwise Trump will have a good case that they are fake news. Occasionally they make mistakes. Whereas fox makes fake news up to perpetuate conspiracy theories.

When you disparage mainstream media (over mensch no less) its equivalent to playing into trumps and putins hands.

Mensch has blocked WALTER SHAUB...former director of government ETHICS. For NO REASON. THINK about that. This is a drop in the bucket of her shady behavior. She was hanging with Milo during the campaign! She’s a conservative through and through, and even if she despises putin, she still has an investment in trump passing CONSERVATIVE policies right under peoples noses while they are in the rabbit hole.

This blog post you linked to is one of her very best.

I expect to hear this piece discussed on MSM in the future.
They do that to her, but they'll never credit her for the reporting. They've done it before.

MSM lazy cheats will claim the "likes" as though they researched & wrote the Breaking News themselves.

But again, it was Louise & her FVEY sources that did the legwork.

MSM is not investigative journalism.
But they sure take the credit!
Figures. They promoted Trump for an entire year. 24/7, and people call Louise a " fraud"?
