I get my news from the msm, from right leaning websites and from left leaning sites. I look into a particular story if i am suspicious of it. What i don't want to see and what i suspect is happening is the liberal elites are using the so called 'fake news' issue to shut down right leaning news sources. Facebook, twitter, google and youtube have already started.

If you don't check facts and just believe whatever you are told, you will believe that Obama literally founded ISIS back in 1999, and that Clinton has been fighting ISIS since 1965, meaning that Obama must have founded ISIS in 1965 when he was 4 years old despite creating ISIS in 1999.

Written in 1970 he predicted that in the future (like now) there would be so many sources of information available people would be confused as to what was real or not.

The Daily Stormer is an American neo-Nazi and white supremacist news and commentary website.[1][2] It is part of the alt-right movement, and calls itself "America's #1 Most-Trusted Republican News Source".[3] Its editor is Andrew Anglin, who founded it on July 4, 2013, as a faster-paced replacement for his previous website Total Fascism.
