    I like how when Trump criticizes the fake news media he is “attacking”, but when the fake news media does the same to Trump they are “speaking truth to power”. When Trump fights back against criticism he is “complaining about negative coverage”, but when the media fights back against Trump’s criticism they are the victims of dangerous rhetoric.

    In 2007 the Boston Globe had an average daily subscription base of 364,000. In 2017 that was down to 133,000. There is a reason for that. Stats are not out for 2018 yet.

    What a fucking lame remark that is.

    What does it even mean...you don't "believe in" it?

    Oh, by the way, your Dear Leader, the abomination Donald Trump, is the most grotesque person ever to hold that position...and he shows himself to be incompetent, vain, petty, vindictive, and ABSOLUTELY WITHOUT ANY CLASS AT ALL.

    People who still support that piece of garbage are traitors to America...and to humanity.

    Do you mean that you don't believe there is much fake (invented) news in the MSM?

    If so, why do you think Trump complains constantly about the "fake news MSM", calling it "the enemy of the American people"?

    I don’t believe the whole canard that fake news is a problem, or that this or that news source is fake news. Even the national enquirer got some things right.

    As for your personal quibbles about someone you’ve never met, I would say I suspect rather than respect your opinion.

    I completely agree with Trump’s criticism, but the whole “fake news” tactic was invented by the Chinese in order to justify censorship.

    So when Trump refers to "fake news", he doesn't mean it's false news? That's what most of his followers take him to mean, isn't it?

    I’m sure that many people take it that way. But in respect to Trump’s version of fake news, he seems to take most issue with unfair coverage, as he has explicitly stated many times. Fairness is an ethical pillar of journalism, and unfair journalism is unethical by their own standards.
