Wow they seem to have got burned on the "fake news" label.
I guess that they got tired of the "weapons of mass destruction" idea.
You know the one where the western media used fake news to overthrow and innocent country.
The one where the Saudis paid for 9/11 so Bush overthrew Iraq.
And now THEY don't like the term "fake news"?

This is whats called "blowback" in the intelligence community. I myself used the term fake news dozens of times in reddit comments when questionable articles (like anything about North Korea) were reported in mainstream news.
I also used "conspiracy theorist" many times in the same period. They're handy rhetorical tools.

-> Mainstream Media tries to smear alternative news sources that conflict with the narrative as "Fake news"
-> Everyone starts calling Mainstream Media "Fake News"
-> Oy vey Oh Shit those fucking white males evil right wing conspiracy theorists are using that phrase now? Shut it down! It's time to retire the tainted term 'Fake News'!

Wow, this is SO biased! What about the fake news of the US power grid being hacked? Or the fake news of Trump sexually assaulting womem years ago? Or the fake news that a sad frog is a hate symbol. Etc...
It blows my mind that they could be so block-headed! This very article is an example of why they're being labelled fake news and they just don't get it. Incredible!
