It's insulting to me to use the phrase "fake news". I shouldn't need to be told what is fake.

As a responsible consumer I can read and investigate the information and decide for myself what is true or not.

By promoting this notion that media outlets such as the New York Times, CNN, and NBC are fake news, you are laying the groundwork for fascism and subversion. I will concede media bias in these outlets. In fact almost all media outlets have some form of bias. It's on us to try to get our information from as many angles as possible and then decide for ourselves what we want to believe.

Don't kid yourself, you'd give your left nut to have Fox News' FCC license pulled. In fact, I'd bet money that someone from the unhinged left has already contested the license.

When those outlets run with a narrative holding that Trump has suddenly reneged on campaign promises by funding the wall as part of a Congressional spending bill, it is Fake News. IDGAS whether the source is FNC, PBS, or the NYTimes, if the news is fake, it's fake.

By not calling fake news "fake" you are laying the groundwork for fascism and subversion.
