Fake news referred to actual fake stories that were being posted on social networks, not stories that backed up with evidence but is then labeled fake because it shatters Donalds Ego, or threatens the reality that his followers are beholden to.
The right took the label and decided to apply it to any news story that doesn't align itself with their narrative or reality. That is why is a trump supporter issue. In the beginning it was a reasonable term used to label news which had been published by actual FAKE sites to shift supporter for either candidate.
And again the right took it, and turned it into their own little weapon whenever they wanted to avoid reality. Now they are using it to discredit the media even when the media has evidence to back up their stories. They will look for one little grammar error, or mis-wording and then deem that as evidence to label something as fake news.
Stop acting like you do not know this.

Fake news was a term coined to highlight fake stories that were posted on Social networks to sway support for EITHER candidate.
Stop acting stupid. You know what I said.

I remember when CNN did a report on fake news, and they highlighted both fake news that favored Trump, and Hilary. Just stop it. That thread is sourced through Daily Mail. So they are fake news now because they made a mistake? Tell me, or rather, list all your credible news sources since CNN, MSNBC, FOX, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post are all fake news.
List your top ten credible American news sources that you can trust?
You can't because you know fake news is predicated on whether that news story is against or for Trump. When it is for Trump, it is real and legitimate, they are impartial but, when it criticizes Donald or presents any type of news that is even remotely damaging to his ego or your idealized vision of Donald, you supporters will find any minor discrepancy, even if that minor discrepancy does not effect the whole of the story, and use that as evidence to label it as fake news.
The MSM may have started it, but the right took it to new lows, and is now using it to discredit ANYTHING that poses a thread to their cult-commander and chief. And again when the MSM coined it; it was meant to show fake news stories on BOTH sides.
But again keep pretending as if the MSM coined it just to demonize Trump because that's all they do correct? Trump is the lonely wittle boy who is just gets a bad rap from everyone. Even though he mocked a disabled reporter, insulted a veteran, suggested a woman was on her period, bragged about the good old days in the 50s and 60s, said he could grab women by the vagina, said he could shoot someone on 5th ave and still keep his voters (which is probably true), asked the Russians to hack the election.
No, he is just getting a bad wrap. Poor little Donald. I am tired of you treating this 70 year old man like he is 6 years old. Hold him accountable. He is a grown ass man.

So you don't have cable news but you are on here telling me that the MSM is fake news because...? ATS told you? Since you just stated ATS is your main news source.
I love ATS but this is the same site that had threads about John Titor, Timewave Zero and that meteor back in 2006 that was supposed to hit the earth and take us all out (I was 16 at the time and scared out of my mind).
I'm done man.Good night.

You spout nonsense about fake news but you don't even watch the news to even make that independent judgment call, you rely on others, and ATS to provide with the judgment call.
If an article is released about Donald, you are at the mercy of whoever interprets the article. The article could be backed up by evidence but if it is criticizing donald, and the person who you rely on for 'facts' calls it fake news, you will believe them. Why do I constantly bring this up? Because I have YET to see a supporter admit criticism for Donald. Every time an article is released that has justified criticism, you sycophants find some way to label it as fake news.
That is what you are telling me. Perhaps your defense would work back in 2007, when facts mattered on ATS and it wasn't overrun with delusional sycophants. But now, it is worthless and has no significant effect on my previous posts.
ATS Is my credible news source, unbelievable.

BS does not fly here? Have you seen the threads that I have read? Post me one thread where a Trump supporter agrees with a justified criticism of Donald. So far I have seen nothing but people making excuses for him.
"Sure,, but okay, he did put CEO Rex Tillerson, and he does have interests in oil, but lets wait and see"
"Sure, he did put Betsy DeVos as SoE, even though she has no experience in the field and her family was one of the highest donors to the republican party BUT, lets wait and see .."
"Sure, he put Ben Carson as head of HUD but..."
"Sure, he hasn't put his businesses in a blind trust, but..."
The list goes on. I love the arrogant tone you adopt, make sure you keep that tone when Donald runs this country into the ground. Keep that tone when his economic policies directly hurt you and your loved ones. I would love to see you struggle to keep that facade up as your loved ones suffer from your lord in chief's mismanagement.
