Is the US Government Behind the Fake News Media Attacks on President-elect Trump?

• paulcraigroberts.org by Paul Craig Roberts

"US intelligence officials believe Russia helped disseminate fake and propagandized news as part of a broader effort to influence and undermine the presidential election, two US intelligence sources told BuzzFeed News.
'They're doing this continuously, that's a known fact,' one US intelligence official said, requesting anonymity to discuss the sensitive national security issue.
'This is beyond propaganda, that's my understanding,' the second US intelligence official said. The official said they believed those efforts likely included the dissemination of completely fake news stories. …
One intelligence official said, 'In the context, did Russia attempt to influence the US elections; the aperture is as wide as it can possibly be.'" 'The real unanswered question is, why did they do it?' the second US intelligence official said. 'Is it because they love Donald Trump? Because they hated Hillary Clinton? Or just because they like undermining Western democracies?'"
