Tidligere medlem af kongressen, Ron Paul, afslørede en liste af journalister, der, hævder han, er ansvarlige for "krige på falskt grundlag" og løgne om Hillary Clintons chancer for at vinde valget. Journalister fra CNN, New York Times, og The Guardian er inkluderet.

"Denne liste indeholder de slyngler, som fortalte os, at Irak havde masseødelæggelsesvåben og løj os til deltagelse i flere krige på falsk grundlag," ifølge en rapport på hans hjemmeside, Ron Paul Liberty Report. Paul hævder, at listen er verificeret og "holder meget mere vand" end en liste, der tidligere blev frigivet af Melissa Zimdars, som på Paul webside beskrives som en feministisk venstrefløjsprofessor."

"Disse er de nyhedskilder som fortalte os, "hvis du kan lide din læge kan du beholde din læge," sagde han. "De fortalte os, at Hillary Clinton havde 99% chance for at vinde valget. De fortalte os igen og igen og igen, at "Økonomien er i fin form!"

List of journalists who colluded with Clinton camaign
Paul's list includes the full names of the "fake news" journalists as well as the publications they write for, with what appears to be hyperlinks to where the allegations are sourced from. In most cases, this is WikiLeaks, but none of the hyperlinks are working at present, leaving the exact sources of the list unknown.

CNN is Paul's biggest alleged culprit, with nine entries, followed by the NY Times and MSNBC, with six each. The NY Times has recently come under fire from President-elect Donald Trump, who accuses them of being "totally wrong" on news regarding his transition team, while describing them as "failing."

The publication hit back, however, saying their business has increased since his election, with a surge in new subscriptions.

CNN's Wolf Blitzer is also amongst those named on the list. In an email from the Democratic National Committee (DNC) released by WikiLeaks, the DNC staff discusses sending questions to CNN for an interview with Donald Trump.

Also listed is NY Times journalist Maggie Haberman, whom leaked emails showed working closely with Clinton's campaign to present the Democratic candidate in a favorable light.

So-called 'fake news' has been recently attacked by US President Barack Obama, who claimed that false news shared online may have played a role in Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election.

Facebook head Mark Zuckerberg has now said that the social media site may begin entrusting third parties with filtering the news.
