Fake presidencies like 0bama’s don’t help anybody either.
What was his position on John Stewart, John Oliver, and Stephen Colbert? If he also saw them as a threat to democracy then he’s consistent (and wrong but consistent). Otherwise he’s a tyrant who wants to stifle the free speech of the right.
Good. We can get rid of all the ooooh, isn’t Moo stunning faux news.
Laughable coming from the creators of fake news and fake talking points.
Bannon, White Nationalist devil is currently the biggest fake story.
The media (and Obama) just go from one anti-Trump theme to another, like a game of follow-the-leader.
There are people over on FaceBook right now whining about fake news stories. I am betting that they think the stories about Hillary were fake and the ones about Trump were true.
Worn out with idiots. Benjamin Franklin didn’t say the Founders had created a Democracy, he said, “A Republic, if you can keep it.”
They will criticize everything he says or does.
I am still waiting for CNN or NBC to do a story on Kellyanne Conway as the first winning female presidential campaign chair IN US HISTORY.
That is right. The party that loves women to break the glass ceiling have yet to public praise, or even to acknowledge, Kellyanne’s historic achievement.
They are too busy reporting fake news.
Spoken from the expert. 8 years of every communication a lie and a double deep lie from every person in the executive branch.
Thank God I don’t watch any of the “Fake News” sights, ABC,NBC,CBS,CNN,MSNBC,......
I quite agree...shut down facebook!!
The sooner the better.
