Donald Trump Changes ’Fake News’ to ‘Corrupt News’
Breitbart ^ | 25 Jun 2022 | JORDAN DIXON-HAMILTON

Posted on 06/26/2022 11:10:13 AM PDT by SoConPubbie

Former President Donald Trump said the new name for the “Fake News” media would be “Corrupt News” at a rally in Mendon, Illinois, on Saturday evening.

Trump was talking about how he dubbed the January 6 Select Committee the “unselect committee” when he introduced his new nickname for the corporate press.

“Unselect Committee. Do you like that name? The unselect. I came up with that one,” Trump said. “Of course every time I say that they say, ‘no, actually 100 years ago, somebody else came up with that term.’ I think I came up with it.”

Trump said the “Fake News” moniker is “not strong enough” to describe the media today.

“And Fake news is another one right? That was a good one,” Trump added. “That’s not strong enough, though. It’s more than fake news. It’s corrupt news.”

Trump then said the “corrupt establishment” is attacking him because he stands up for the American people:

Trump: “Never forget, everything this corrupt establishment is doing to me, is all about preserving their power & control over the American people..

Never forget everything this corrupt establishment is doing to me is all about preserving their power and control over the American people. If I renounced my beliefs, which I won’t do, if I agreed to stay silent, if I stayed home, if I said that a corrupt election was wonderful. The persecution would stop immediately. They say good luck. Let’s go on to the next victim.

“But I can’t do that because I love our country far, far too much. Remember, they’re coming after me because I’m standing up for you

Since the media gave President Trump big exposure in 2016, they decided that they helped him to get elected.
So they think, that they made big error.
So now, since the 2016 election, they just totally gave on any pretext of objectivity and they begun to be just the propaganda arm of the Democratic party!
Luckily most people figured it out and stopped watching.
But unfortunately, there are still some fools who believe the media.

I always felt that “fake news” was too mild a description for betrayers of the public trust, lying in order to gain the favor of an evil group of communists.

Yes, but "fake news" has two advantages over "corrupt news"

  1. It's shorter, two snappy syllables instead of three, and...

  2. More people believe the MSM is "fake" than that it is "corrupt."
    Lots of moderates and even Democrats know the MSM is "fake."

I'm not sure the added ramp-up in rhetoric is productive. Maybe it will turn out to be, let's see.

There are plenty of really nasty pejoratives you can use against the fake news media.

Your opinion, meh.

I think has more impact, for myself.

President in Exile Trump was the first person that EVER said out loud what I was always thinking.

They ARE coming for us. They are power-mad, corrupt and don't care about America.

It really IS that simple.

They prove it to us every DAY - between evil actions taken against us and absolutely NO push back from our side!

Seems Soros controls these punks. When did the USA start allowing a Nazi punk into “OUR” USA?

And you know that how?

Because everyone who believes the MSM is corrupt also believes it is fake, but not everyone who believes the MSM is fake also believes it is corrupt.

[MSM corrupt] is a subset of [MSM fake].

And the fake news reporters hate the term “fake news”, so it serves its purpose.

Yes, few of them think of themselves as "corrupt," but many of them know they are "fake." And it absolutely drives them bat-excrement to have it pointed out.

“Corrupt news” is a better term.
