I don’t remember it being covered much.

Another trick of FAKE news, many have an overly narrow definition of. To me FAKE mean the same as BIASED, which can include lying but also unequal coverage and especially the most common, slanted view of coverage. The story would have had much more network coverage if a right winger had done it,

As a recent example look at the relatively low coverage of the Waukesha massacre.

Yep. Lying by omission. It’s not just what Fake News reports. It what they don’t report.
