- What happened? What happened?! You blew it, Hillary. (The Week) Comment on Hillary’s upcoming book.

You know, World Socialist Web Site is probably not a poster child for real news.
I know that, but the linked story's numbers are accurate, and have been replicated at other sites. (NC has mentioned it in passing)

Also, WSWS is not a fake news source: They are Trotskyites who believe what they write, so they are a delusional news site.
