Journos Blame Fake News For Shooting, Claim Criticism Is Now Off Limits

"You cannot be POTUS, hold rally after rally to attack reporters, calling them fake, disgusting/dishonest & not expect someone to think shooting them is ok."

You cannot be POTUS, hold rally after rally to attack reporters, calling them fake, disgusting/dishonest & not expect someone to think shooting them is ok.

Story after story decried the undue influence these fake stories had on the election, although there is no evidence a single voter's mind was changed by a fake news story.

Soon fake news was tied directly to Russia's attempts to meddle in the election, and used to punish Facebook for Clinton's loss.

Story after story has provided him ample ammunition to keep the fake news narrative going.

Another doozy from CNN was the story that falsely claimed the Trump administration was tipped off before the stolen WikiLeaks emails were published - the network's anonymous source reported the wrong dates on a document.

Erroneous reports from trusted outlets are likely far more damaging to the public discourse than the obviously fake information some kid is pumping onto Facebook from Macedonia.
