GIZMODO SMEARS TRUMP WITH FAKE NEWS, AND LIBERAL HACKS RUN WITH IT

Ashley Feinberg, a Gizmodo contributor whose impressive credentials include writing for the since-defamed rag Gawker, published a fallacious report Monday claiming President-elect Donald Trump had fired the federal officials responsible for maintaining the nation’s nuclear arsenal.
According to an official within the Department of Energy, the Trump transition team has declined to ask the head of the National Nuclear Security Administration and his deputy to temporarily stay in their roles after Trump takes office on January 20th …
