The bullsh*t non-news story of the day is “Russia celebrated Trump’s election”.
This non-revelation story started with the Washington Post, then spread to NBC News, The Hill, and MarketWatch.
The story is loaded with innuendo and irony, so let’s investigate.
- Washington Post: U.S. intercepts capture senior Russian officials celebrating Trump win
- NBC News: Top Russians Celebrated When Trump Won, Intel Report Says: Source
- MarketWatch: Russian officials celebrated Trump’s win, U.S. ID’s WikiLeaks sources: reports
- The Hill: US caught Russian officials cheering Trump win: report
Of the four, The Hill at least has an excuse. The Hill’s business model is to take any political news, no matter how ridiculous, the retweet the same story, multiple times over the course of the day, typically with hyped up headlines.
Why NBC or MarketWatch would repost trash from the Washington Post is a mystery.
