Fake News is a guise used by people that want to censor reports that are harmful to the progressive world view. The goal is to stop the spread of stories not put out by liberal outlets, such as CNN. They are using "fake news" as a justification for their action.
That is the problem a lot of people have with this crusade.

Is this how it is possible to accumulate 128,121 posts?

I don't like the term "fake news" outside of fake masking sites (meant to look like another news site), supermarket tabloids, and/or publications like The Onion.
False, inaccurate, or dishonest would be more appropriate terms to put before the word news.

Probably a lot more fake news that benefited Trump though
Geez, let's see, there's Brietbart, InfoWars, Drudge, and Conservative Treehouse. How much airtime and mainstream play do they get in comparison with the alphabets (including their local affiliates), CNN, MSNBC, NPR, all the liberal rags throughout the country, et al..... ?
I guess you're still in disbelief that people are tired of the fake news they've been fed for 40 years, and decided to stick them the middle finger ?
That's why you have DJT.

Sure. Plenty of false narratives and bias in the MSM. Not disputing that.

A very well sourced and cited article, at that.

CNN throws a lot of stones for a fake news propaganda organization. They should seriously rebrand, forever tainted.

CNN is the largest purveyor of fake news in the country. They have an open and hard left slant so they won't be impacted.

Yeah. I suppose so. Almost 13 years on the forum and a few slow months at work here and there can get your post count up.
I don't post nearly as much now.

I dispute it just as sure as Romney doesn't pay taxes.

I'm certain the Dim melt will continue until it does not and that is not "fake news"!

Who decides what's "fake"?
Were the Dem debates "fake news" since CNN was feeding the questions to Crooked?

I don't dispute it at all. I question the fact that it affected the election results much, if at all. I also question why no one seemed to give two shits about it until after the election when their candidate lost. As far as my social media feeds go, the same people complaining about the fake news are the ones who posted stuff from Occupy Democrats etc that were lies or manipulation of the truth.
