How about “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot”?
Sure, there are endless examples of newspapers and media outlets lying and propagandizing. Not trying to say the Rice thing was unquestionably “first” but to my mind, it was the first time a senior national official was sent out to deliver a known fake made-up fabricated totally untrue story in order to deceive the public and cover up the incompetence of even higher level officials, namely Obama and Clinton.
That rises above the normal media spin and BS and in my mind represents the origin of “fake news” as a tool of the regime.
