Why do real stories sound like cheap trashy conspiracy magazines anymore!
I saw my first ad yesterday on Youtube with some high production video on their huge poster sized flow chart of how they are spinning the Mueller investigation as a witch hunt. I was curious, but seeing a blurb on it today on MSNBC. I figured it would be worth knowing whats coming. Seems its a Religious Chinese group that is funding this big-time to get Trump re-elected in the form of the Russian propaganda machine.

Trump administration[edit]
According to BuzzFeed News, The Epoch Times is known as "one of the staunchest defenders of Donald Trump's presidency." The paper is accused of promoting pro-Trump conspiracy theories such as Spygate and QAnon
In April 2018, The Epoch Times publisher Stephen Gregory and editor-in-chief Jasper Fakkert reported a third-hand claim that Donald Trump reads The Epoch Times every day and "it's the one newspaper that he believes to be a truthful and correct paper."
In September 2018, The Epoch Times photographer Samira Bouaou broke White House protocol and handed Trump a folder during an official event.
In October 2018, Fakkert, the editor-in-chief, wrote in a letter to readers: "We see the Trump administration's efforts to change socialist policies in America, as well as set policies to counter infiltration and subversion by China, as remarkable reversals from past policies, and sincere efforts that, if fully realized, will benefit America and the world as a whole."
The Epoch Times was one of the top five U.S. political media advertisers on Facebook in April 2019, spending more than $100,000 to report political videos and commentary, according to research by the liberal political firm Acronym.The ad expenditures, through a Facebook account called "Coverage of the Trump Presidency by The Epoch Times", exceeded those of every politician except Trump himself and Democrat Joe Biden. In May 2019 journalist Judd Legum wrote that it was running "hundreds of Facebook ads (some of which are still active) boosting Donald Trump and floating conspiracy theories about Joe Biden"
