Libertarian Websites Deemed "Russian Propaganda Tools" by Washington Post
ZeroHedge reports that the Washington Post Names Drudge, Zero Hedge, & Ron Paul As Anti-Clinton "Sophisticated Russian Propaganda Tools." Clearly, ZH isn't happy, but perusing the list of alleged miscreants is shocking because it extends well beyond what any reasonable person could consider "the right" and seems to target libertarian and peace activist sites!
Who in their right mind would label antiwar.com a Russian propaganda tool? The two teams of "independent" researchers might have been confused because antiwar.com doesn't much like war, but Clinton does. That could potentially explain their opposition to the Hillary.
In addition to antiwar.com, the list also oddly includes David Stockman's blog (the former director of the Office of Management and Budget under President Ronald Reagan), Drudge Report, endingthefed.com, lewrockwell.com (Lew being the founder of the Mises Institute), and the Ron Paul Institute.
How libertarian sites ended up on a list of "anti-Hillary Russian propaganda tools" is nuts. Well, OK, I get the whole "anti-Hillary" thing, but the link between peaceful advocates of freedom and Russian "fake news propaganda" is a stretch.
Liberals would be better off courting libertarians, with whom they actually share quite a bit in common, instead attacking them every chance they get. Bullies beating on peaceful people gets old fast.
When will Steemit.com make the list?

Here's the infamous list re-produced from the ZH article:
what is really funny about these liars is that they were the ones that didn't treat Russia as a threat until Russia made Barky Hussein look like the complete cunt that he is
The same liars, hypocrites, and corruptocrats that make up the democrat party...yep, they were really happy to get along with the Ruskies until THIS became a staple of internet memes
oh noes my cult-leader haz bad picz!
(then again, barky looks like he's enjoying it)
Thank you for the excellent list of websites I should investigate.
I knew about many of these, and visit them often. But now, I have an even bigger list to peruse.
Thank you MSM.
Be careful or you'll be labeled a Russian propaganda tool!
Ah. Yes. comrade, come join our glorious new movement. ^_^
Everything they don't understand or don't profit from is "Russian Propaganda".
When you thought they reached the bottom of the barrel, they keep digging... Just like most #newspeakliberal, they do not take responsibility for they downfall; it has to be someone else's fault.
Hey, The Blaze isn't even there! Everyone knows Glenn Beck is in with 'em Russians
