Journalists started this shit by lying their pants off, they made their fake news grave and they can lie in it
Did they though?
Yep, no loyalty to facts, only loyalty to allies. News shouldn't have allies but whatever, fake news is not fake when they say it, because they have money and money = true
Have some nutritious information

Fake news = anyone who doesn't agree with Trump. Gimme a break please.
Do you really think people shat on Buzzfeed and CNN because they opposed trump, or because they've always been lying poo?
I think it's because they're lying poo. Kill Buzzfeed and CNN, give all market share to bastion of freedom and truth British Broadcasting Corporation News

Buzzfeed was alway crap, but this time, they, and CNN, are getting jumped because they aren't bending over for Trump and blindly repeating whatever he says. The "lying poo" in this case has, is, and probably will be Trump and his lackeys.

CNN has been very quick to jump onto ridiculous anti-Trump stories without even the barest minimum of fact checking, and their parent company was one of the Clinton campaign's top 10 donors. They also get caught doing shady shit all the time.

Where I found all of those. There's plenty more there than what I put in this post, though I admit there's plenty of nonsense to sift through too.

Basically a hollywood hairstylist wouldn't give free 'do's to Marla Maples and Tiffany Trump for the inauguration, so she ends up getting a message that sounds like they're going to put a 'mob hit' on the woman. What is this, The Sopranos? These people are really a new breed of low class.

McCain caved under peer pressure despite being on his last term and being theoretically immune to such things, but I guess Republican's "fall in line" command is encoded on a reflexive level, and so he "leans towards voting" for Tillerson on committee hearings. Tillerson is the one who has direct business ties to Russian government, oil sector specifically, and got a medal from it for making a large oil deal that went "poof" when sanctions hit. And now it looks like he'll be the Secretary of State head of State Department, probably the highest appointed position in the government - taken by a person with history of pro-Russian deals.

Putin just can't stop winning, can he?

I love the facepalm photo they found for the article.

I don't see any facepalm photo. Though yeah, not surprising that he backed out of his word.

McCain isn't the only person Tillerson has to worry about as far as being confirmed or not. Even if just Rubio votes no, he could block the confirmation. The GOP will probably just force the vote to the floor anyway and make it pass there.

Rubio is the One Who Was Promised, if anybody is. His most pro-Trump move was reluctantly endorsing him for two months than dropping him like a spike-covered baby after Pussygate. This is the face of a man haunted by the world he could not save.

The issue is less that CNN is rightfully being called out on its shady news practices and more... Trump is trying to control the media by holding White House news captive... Or at least it seems that way.

Trump is acting like a game publisher who stops sending a reviewer advance copies because he gave one of their games a bad review... Or at least it seems that way.

Besides it is Fake news that the news is Fake News :P

Can anyone link me to the CNN article that Trump is all "fake news" about? I know it's old, but there are multiple things about it on the website and I don't want to read the wrong one (such as one written post-"fake news" and them either walking back or supporting it) and then comment.

Having not read it, I was under the impression that they basically said it was all unsubstantiated at that point, but that Obama and Trumo had been briefed on it, that they at least took the time to check out sources and say it wasn't necessarily factual stuff they were talking about (or something like that) but Trump/Obama had been shown it, whereas Buzzfeed did the publishing of the stuff in full without saying anything about sources or stuff like that.

This is an issue I have with things like this; it all seems interesting and stuff at the time but I forget about it and don't read it. Silly me.

That's within the legal authority of the President. Sucks and it doesn't bode well, but the power of the pulpit is one of the core (and, as far as I'm concerned, should be the primary) power of the President.

Trump isn't a reasonable person to have the pulpit. Anyone who criticizes him is incompetent if an individual a la John Lewis or is fake news a la CNN.
