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"?

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!

When Jim DeMint wanted to dis a TV interviewer’s suggestion ...
When conspiracy theorist Alex Jones wanted to deny a CNN report...
And when a writer for an arch-conservative website needed a putdown...
They left out "And when we published a completely inaccurate story about Russians hacking the power grid". Nothing was true about their original story.
Still just passed laws allowing gov to go after whatever they deem as fake, probably just because it's true and embarrassing.

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.
