Former Obama Operatives Creating FAKE NEWS Sites To Help Democrats Win Election

Strategists admit they are losing the infowar and that they need to play dirty

Democratic operatives who previously worked for Barack Obama are creating fake news websites, and even newspapers, which are purposefully designed to look real in order to push liberal talking points and help the Democrats win the 2020 election.

The sites fall under the umbrella of a “media company” called Courier Newsroom, headed by strategists who have made it their mission to counter ‘right wing propaganda’ on social media and the internet.

The outfit does not make readers aware of what it really is, instead it is posing as a legitimate news company employing real journalists, when it is anything but that.

Bloomberg reported Monday that the project’s main goal is to create content favorable to Democrats that can be shared and spread on social media without recourse.

The propaganda is spearheaded by former Obama strategist Tara McGowan, who has previously stated that it is her objective to craft a more virulently negative public perception of President Trump in the short term.

The New York Times reported earlier this month that McGowan, and other Obama era operatives are working with a nonprofit group called Acronym and a leftist political action committee, pouring millions of dollars into propaganda in battleground states including Michigan, Arizona, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

The group has previously worked with Planned Parenthood, Gun Control groups, and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

“A lot of people I respect will see this media company as an affront to journalistic integrity because it won’t, in their eyes, be balanced,” McGowan told Bloomberg.

“What I say to them is, Balance does not exist anymore, unfortunately.” She continued, adding “We’re losing the information war to verified liars pouring millions of dollars into Facebook.”

Explaining how her propaganda works, McGowan said “Everybody who clicks on, likes, or shares an article … we get that data back to create a lookalike audience to find other people with similar attributes in the same area. So we continually grow our ability to find people.”

Facebook has vowed to crack down on what it defines as ‘fake news’, and has removed pages belonging to scores of conservative creators. While many of those are openly and admittedly agenda driven, McGowan’s projects are clearly designed to be deceptive.

Readers will be duped into believing they are accessing journalistic content, when in actual fact they will be exposed to Democratic propaganda.

If this isn’t the epitome of fake news, then what is?

Donald Trump to Counter-Program Second GOP Debate by Appearing with Striking Auto Workers in Detroit

Former President Donald Trump will appear with striking union members of the United Auto Workers (UAW) in Detroit, Michigan, as his opponents squabble for the spotlight on the debate stage on September 27, according to a report that multiple sources have confirmed to Breitbart News.

The New York Times first reported on Trump’s forthcoming appearance with Detroit auto workers striking against the big three automakers — General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis — which will serve as counter-programming to the GOP debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California.

The GOP frontrunner will deliver a “prime-time speech before current and former union members,” according to the Times, as they strike for higher wages following 40-year-high inflation and seek commitments from automakers and the federal government that Biden’s electrical vehicle agenda will not threaten their jobs or pay, as Breitbart News has documented.

Multiple Trump aides have confirmed the 45th president’s plans to Breitbart News.

Trump, who regularly takes a majority of support in independent national GOP primary polls, is keeping with the strategy his campaign employed in the first debate when he skipped the event and instead joined Tucker Carlson for a one-on-one 45-minute interview on the host’s eponymously-named show, Tucker on Twitter.

After battling the counter-programming, which was released at the start of the first GOP debate on August 23 and instantly went viral, debate storylines quickly fell to the wayside when Trump surrendered in Fulton County, Georgia, on his fourth indictment a day later. The arrest produced the now-iconic mugshot of Trump, the first-ever mugshot of a former president of the United States.

Trump’s latest plans further signal his focus on a potential general election rematch with President Joe Biden rather than the Republican primary, as union workers who were long the foundation of the Democrat coalition were pivotal in helping elect him to office in 2016, as Breitbart News’s John Binder emphasized on Saturday:

In 2016, union workers helped propel Trump and his nationalist-populist agenda to the White House — scoring the most support among union households for any Republican presidential candidate since former President Ronald Reagan in 1984.
In 2020, Biden helped widen that gap by taking 57 percent of union households compared to Trump’s 40 percent. Trump could significantly increase his share of union households in a rematch against Biden by registering to vote millions of non-college-educated whites in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania who remain disenfranchised.

Binder’s report highlighted that the Detroit Free Press first revealed that Trump was weighing a visit to Michigan to meet with UAW members striking against the Big Three automakers.
