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!

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"?

On the subject of "journalistic integrity" (or complete lack there of)... https://twitter.com/ramzpaul/status/818138854653882368 Originally spotted here: https://voat.co/v/KotakuInAction/1547802

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.

You're fucking kidding me? So after having their collective pants pulled down over the election and coining "fake news" to maintain hegemony over the mainstream narrative, they're fucking throwing the toy out of the pram because it can be used against them as well as by them???
"Let’s get out the hook and pull that baby off stage. Yes: Simply stop using it."
Here's another idea for the mainstream media since their slow-motion "fake news" train crash just completely derailed: BE A BIT MORE FUCKING HONEST, UNBIASED AND FACT-BASED IN YOUR REPORTING. An impossibility, I know, but I thought I'd throw it out there anyway.
There was a time when journalism was a respected institution, when journalists and reporters worked for the public interest, they exposed the kind of bullshit that we now rely on the likes of Wikileaks for instead of covering it up, colluding and spinning bullshit narratives.
And they fucking wonder why alternative media has taken off so much in recent months?

They left out "And when we published a completely inaccurate story about Russians hacking the power grid". Nothing was true about their original story.
