And when the cons bleat “fake news”, the rest of us shake our heads & smirk at the lying little sheep.

The fact is the media has been caught outright lying enough to give the term fake news some credibility. The GW Bush 60 minutes expose and the editing of the George Zimmerman 911 tape comes to mind.

This should have not been a race which will basically end up in a virtual tie..barely plus +1


If Republicans barely can win a gerrymandered deep red district....this does not bond well for much closer races in November. The GOP is in trouble.

Fox News says "Close Doesn't Count"

CNN says "Republicans Should Panic"

Which one is news, which one is fake? Or maybe all news is just drivel and opinion.

Seems to me people are mistaking actual news for opinion pieces they dont like and thus calling it fake news,


1. the phrase "fake news" was used from three American newspapers in 1890 and 1891...so it is not a new term


2. Obama: ""We must guard against fake news"" November 2016






fake news is when an entity or journalist spins a story to lean one way, when the truth is something else




its like when the press and the liberals say "Bush vetoes veterans health bill".... meanwhile it was a tiny amendment on a DOT bill that had nothing to do with the VA.... but the press makes everyone think that Bush de-funded the VA...... that is "fake news" or spinning it to an untruth




both the right and the left do plenty of spinning and MAKING of 'fake news"
