    If it's on the Clinton News Network, it's fake news.

    Exactly - and it's all because of one man's insecurity.

    I saw an interview w/ JFK recently talking about the press; they were really hard on him, but he really embraced that & the idea of a vigilant and critical media. He wasn't looking for praise all of the time like Trump.

    Trump is a very weak man. A pathetic leader.

    The term "fake news" applied originally to certain websites, mainly rightwing, which literally invented stories and "facts". The internet community being what it is, some fools believed it.

    Trump picked up the term and applied it to any reportage he doesn't like or doesn't want to hear. Some of the same fools believe him.

    It has nothing to do with how factual & accurate it is.

    Trump's campaign against the media could end up being one of the most negative, long-lasting aspects of his Presidency.
    Well, it works for him so why give it up when he is on a roll.

    Anything that comes out of Trump's lying mouth is fake news. He's the primary source of it.
    RINO is the term for that rare Republican who puts country above party.

    Right wing = lie, lie, and lie some more.


    "When I am president I'm going to be working for you. I'm not going to have time to play golf" Donald J. Trump, world class snake oil salesman and compulsive golfer August 2016

    The definition of "racist" as "anyone who is white" is itself racist.

    He also discovered a way to bypass the news filtering and massaging that the media has always done.

    You're a megaphone for anything anti-Islamic, maggot- particularly fake news.
    You're also a megaphone for hilarious climatic-change scepticism. See you, Jiminy.
