What is your definition of the term "fake news"?

What is the point? We do not elect presidents by popular vote and never have. We have an election in every single state and territory to elect a slate of electors. Those electors vote for the president. Bringing up the popular vote repeatedly is the sign of a feeble mind as it has nothing to do with political reality. It sounds like you're trying promote something fake.

Fact: Trump won the electoral college and the election.

It's verifiable fact that Clinton won the popular vote.

Yes, fake news is fiction.

No, trump didn't win the popular vote.

It's reported that Slick Willie threw his phone into a river when his fat ass cunt for a wife wouldn't take his campaign advice and get off her fat ass and actually go out and talk to the people she took for granted would vote for her.

hildebeest was playing checkers while Trump was playing chess. It's not "how many pieces" you have at the end of the game ... it's "which pieces" you have at the end of the game. That's the way it's always been, proving hildebeest is too stupid for the job.

Fake news is anything that cannot be confirmed or proven. News needs to be factual, with multiple sources (the more the better) to not only back up a claim, but more importantly, produce the required concrete evidence to support it. Opinions and rumors, which need to be stated as such, make for great headlines on a slow news day or if there is an agenda/vendetta there, it make for great gossip at the water cooler, but only people that get told what to think and follow it are gullible enough to believe it is true.

Any news, that while reporting truthful events or facts, is so biased, by omitting other facts or context or by presenting their personal opinions on the matter as facts and not personal opinions, that the "news" leads the audience to a certain conclusion they may not otherwise come to, is fake news.

CNN,FOX,CBS NBC AND ALL OTHER MEDIA OUTLETS ARE GUILTY OF IT.
