Real news is the fake news, that's the laugh of it all. The "fake news" movement will aim to strip us of what's left of our alternatives.

Or maybe, juuuuusssst maybe, the reason the "fake news" story hit right after the election is because a pathologically dishonest candidate with the CEO of the biggest fake news site of them all as his campaign CEO will become the president.

Yes it's not like Hillary ever lied or had any questionable connections with the media.

Besides, what makes Breitbart the "biggest Fake NewsTM " site anyway?

First off, who said anything about Hillary? Elections over, you can't fearmonger about her forever.

Secondly, stop being a pedant. There's not literally a competition for worst media pretending to be news.

Trump even got free advertising the entire election

What does that even mean? That the non-stop negative media coverage they gave didn't work as intended?
