Oh absolutely, that's exactly what that was.
The whole reason the "fake news" label stuck when our side started using it is because the MSM is stacked from top to bottom with fake people. They are frauds, poseurs, exhibitionists, impostors, humbugs. They are shams and narcissists. They get high on their own supply.
They're not smart. They're not informed. They're not well-educated. They're just phonies, and when they come up against the real deal they get knocked for a loop and don't even know what hit them.
