Great read. A

The term Fake News was started by those trying to discredit information that was counter to their message.

I remember well when Trump flipped this phrase back on them.

The first place I saw it being used was the Washington Post. The author tracks it back to earlier roots.

Good solid reporting.

Hi, AndyJackson. I’m at the AMERICA Prayer Vigil on FR every day, and jump around on various threads, now that I’m not taking personal responsibility every day to get Trump elected. Here is a recent post you might enjoy:
