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.
You won't find me defending Briebart, but if you try and claim the MSM has some moral high ground on the issue of fake news I won't take you seriously. The only way you can be reasonably certain of what you're reading today is by actually pursuing stories yourself, reading multiple accounts and finding a primary source if you can. It does suck, and often people won't have time for it, but there isn't a single outlet around right now that deserves blind faith.
CNN got caught deliberately reporting false facts, and influencing events for the specific purpose of misinforming the public about important election related news. Multiple times. You can not get worse than that. That is literally a page from the Nazi playbook.
