They got their tax cuts for the rich through. Time to work on the poor. Coming soon to a congress near you;
“For the new year, Republican leaders in the House have their sights on decades-old programs for the poor.” New York Times, 12/25/17. Gotta find some way to pay for those tax cuts.
“Many of the most popular articles about things like Wikileaks and Pizzagate and other conspiracy theories were prominently featured on the Sputnik website,” [Andrew] Feinberg told Melber.
Those stories were then picked up by right-wing outlets like Infowars, Breitbart and the Gateway Pundit, he continued.
“Sputnik functions as part of this right-wing media ecosystem,” Feinberg said. “There’s a big difference between these sites run by Americans [that] employ Americans exercising their right to freedom of speech and a news site funded by a foreign government with the express purpose of not reporting the news but influencing opinion.”
“When the money for that site comes from a foreign government, it’s foreign propaganda,” he concluded. “Not news.”
…
In August, Feinberg revealed that Sputnik encouraged him to push the debunked right-wing conspiracy theory that the DNC had former staffer Seth Rich murdered — an assignment that led to him quitting.
Yesterday, news broke that Sputnik is under investigation by the FBI and that the DOJ ordered reporters from RT, another Kremlin-backed news organization, to file as foreign agents. Earlier in his interview with Melber, Feinberg said that he too had been interviewed by the FBI, and had mostly been questioned about internal processes and where he got his assignments (and money) from.

After you have all the money in the world, it becomes a game of power.
