The Fake News is working overtime. Just reported that, despite the tremendous success we are having with the economy & all things else, 91% of the Network News about me is negative (Fake). Why do we work so hard in working with the media when it is corrupt? Take away credentials?
Trump said it himself. If its about him and its negative, its fake. The thin skinned baby can't handle criticism and yelling fake news is his way of lashing out when reporters don't praise him.
It has nothing to do with whether or not the story is true and accurate, only whether or not it tells everyone how great Trump thinks he is. If it doesn't kiss his rear like his supporters do, its fake news.

But what about when people other than Trump characterize news stories as "fake news"?
And is it okay for Trump to call stories that are true, "fake", just because they are negative? Many Trump supporters think the stories are false, not just negative, and that leads to them rejecting all stories from that source. It contributes to the misinformation/disinformation problem that we have and that does have an impact on the lives of Americans.
1. Knowingly reporting a lie as truth
2. False information that the reporter failed to properly research and failed to realize that it was false
3. Something trivial meant to deflect attention away from a major issue
4. Something trivial because the media has nothing else to report on for that day

Trump is not the problem. The gullible and unanalytical populace is the problem. It's one thing to vote from Trump, it's quite another to buy into his lies and believe them, such as the whole negative/fake news stuff.
Anything about Trump from CNN, ABC, NBC & it's numerous byproducts, CBS, WaPo, NYT and all the sites that parrot them.
/thread.
And if CNN runs a story about Trump with quotes from Trump, that's fake? What is fake about it?
