    Sharyl, I watched your Ted Talk on Fake News. Enjoyed it. Keep up the great work. Like I have said before, I think the most important story for our country right now. Is whether or not we will have equal justice. If those involved in the CONSPIRACY during the 2016 Presidential Election are not brought to justice. We're doomed as a country.

      I've read 'The Smear' and 'Sronewalled'. They are two of the best books I've ever read. Honestly I couldn't say which was better. They are both massive winners.

    Sheryl, you are one of the real reporters. Jon Rappoport and Jim Stone are up there with you. Keep up your excellent work!

    I love seeing real journalists like Sharyl. It's really rare to see veteran reporters actually giving the facts about what's happening, rather than just pushing conspiracy theories about Russia. I've been saying this for months now that Donald Trump did not invent the term "Fake News." Jon Rappoport invented the term over a decade a go and right after the election it was co-opted by the mainstream media and all at once was used as a way to try to discredit independent media which elected Trump. After all that, Trump said "wait a minute, YOU'RE fake news!" and all of the sudden the mainstream media is claiming that Trump is against a free press when they were the one's using that weaponized term to try to censor the real free press in the first place.

    Hi Sharyl, I want to thank you, for your extraordinary investigative work, your diligence to expose the lies and manipulation of information, and your courage to stand up to all those who try to silence your voice! I just read your book The Smear, and I am recommending it to everyone!! Here is a blog post that I wrote about it: https://cbliss247.com/how-astroturfing-smear-campaigns-misinform-you-shape-your-beliefs/. With great regard, Chris
