    Really ironically if the Trump followers beat the MSM for fake news, but then call Fox News as trustworthy ... why not call Breitbart trustworthy too, eh? ... and the biggest fake news distributor is Donald Trump himself. There are countless examples of his fake news ... and let's just start with his inauguration, where more people should have been, as at Obama ... Lol!

    P.S.
    Sorry, I forgot ... fake News done by Trump are not called this way ... they are "alternative facts"! ROFL!

    I mean, show me a news organization that hasnt changed stories or flat out lied...

    That place could claim they're not fake news. Everyone else...well, they should do a better job if they dont like the label.

    Fake news is what the media has become. Trump is just pointing it out.

    Much of the news is fake, or horribly inaccurate to the point of being only propaganda for one agenda or the other.

    The mainstream media is really just the propaganda arm of a fascist government and its string-pulling corporate puppeteers.

    Because there is no fake news. Stories get retracted all the time for having omissions in them. Notice how the fake news label is never placed on Fox, that’s how you know it’s nothing more than a political buzz phrase and nothing more.

    The MSM is exposing Trump and his idiocy, Trump doesn’t like being exposed for who he is so he uses the “fake news” phrase free thinkers don’t believe in.

    Ha!

    Speaking of trying to get the term "Fake News" to stop being used ....

    If the MSM wants to stop being called fake news, they need to stop putting up so much fake news. The stories about all the Russia Investigation has proven Trump and all his supporters more right than anything could ever do.

    The media IS fake, period

    BINGO!

    Progressives are PISSED that the public won't just go along with their lies in lock step formation.

    They know that now that the Russia investigation is falling apart, the tag of "Fake News" is more true than it has ever been. As the investigation against Trump winds down to nothing and Trump starts to fire back against the Progressives in his own investigations, the media is going to be shown to be even bigger and bigger of liars than we think they are now.

    The media will never be seen again in the US as something that can be trusted.

    Again, an example of a Progressive praying to god this isn't true and trying to say anything they can to make others believe.

    nope, anything coming out of Trump's mouth or a tweet is pretty much 'fake news'

    Trump was using National Enquirer was he not?

    ‘I made one comment about Benghazi,’ Logan said in Friday’s podcast.

    ‘[Then] I was targeted by Media Matters for America, which was an organization established by David Brock, who has dedicated himself to the Clintons.

    ‘It was their known propaganda organization.’

    If you want to be in the club, you got to play by the clubs rules. It isn't news any more. It's entertainment.

    Yes. The one calling out your partners for being the fake new asshats everyone has been correctly calling them.

    Guess it's time to confirm the professional suicide she said her honesty would bring about.

    Can't have a journalist calling out the obvious.

    Media Matters is a vile Progressive organization funded by Soros and company, and should be shut down for tax violations.

    A retracted story is a fake story.

    You complain about fox, but what examples do you have? Obama's birth certificate? That certainly wasn't fake. It was just a lot of people wondering where that asshat's proof of natural citizenship was.

    On the other hand, just in the last few weeks we have the covington kids, that idiot smollett, and just a general disregard for vetting sources before jumping on the bandwagon. Then there's the "learn to code" meme that is just hilarious. A bunch of idiots who previously wrote about how coal miners can learn how to code comes back to bite them in their lefty cheeks and they can't figure out why everybody hates them so much.

    You say that they retract stories all the time, and maybe that's the problem. They need to learn how to be reporters, and then they won't have to retract stories.

    I don’t follow a Twitter feed or talk radio for news. Those can be the only people who fall for the constant assertions of fake news.

    I do not like MSNBC. Never have. Use to watch CNN until it stoppedb reporting facts and became Liberal commentary during the Obama Administration. The division of the Country started with Obama and his progressive cabinet and attack on moderates and Republicans and Doctors and Hospitalsbwhile propping up Insurance companies who caused much of the Health care and premium problems without addressing prescription drug costs and arbitrary denial to pay for these drugs.
    There were so many identified problems with the PPACA.
    But the President and Dems didn't care, they just wanted to circumvent the system and push it through.

    Actually, it miiiiight have started with Bush43.

    Running for President in 2000, fresh off of being guest speaker/commencement exercise, at Bob Jones University.

    Then following that up, in Aug'05, with strategically leaving New Orleans negroid citizens doing the backstroke through the 9th Ward's ghetto AKA the greatest act of genocide in modern USA history AKA Hurricane Katrina catastrophe.

    This could be viewed as extremely superficial:

    Mainly because it's not clear if you focused on how those words are now a household phrase only because, I repeat, only because The POTUS uttered them. No other culture, nor group, nor person could have caused this colossal of an affect, so quickly.

    If you excluded that as the cornerstone of your analysis here, it is very unfortunate.
