Was "fake news" a thing before Trump needed an excuse for why the news about himself and his actions was so unflattering?

Is it just like the introduction of officially condoned "alternative facts" ?

Black Lives Matter wouldn't exist without fake news. The media made it look like black people were being killed by racist cops and basically started a race war. Glad Trump finally called them out for the scum they are.

"Fake news" really wasn't a thing before last year. Satirical news existed but entirely made up stories with the intention of misleading is a pretty new phenomenon.
Bullshit stories with cherry picked 'facts' intended to persuade have been around as long as the internet has existed.

most of the democrat talking points are fake news so you should be used to it by now

@MasterLee:

Well i'm trying, but you just keep repeating that it's fake news.
Can you give some examples of "liberal news" that is factually incorrect? And presumably deliberately so?

@UnparalleledMonster: No it would not help you. You are too far gone.

@MasterLee:

Hahahaha!
So let me get this straight:

1)You continually avoid ( don't think you slipped that one by me, champ) confirming or denying that "fake news" means factually inaccurate. You apparently define it as talking points and liberal news.
2) When challenged point blank to provide an example of this liberal fake news, you make a transparent excuse.

But yeah, I'M the one trying to distract from the issue.
Thanks for playing, lee.😆
Oh please, PLEASE try and save face after this. That would be delicious.
Or slink away.
Slink away, loser...

Trump is the greatest purveyor and proponent of fake news around. Just look at how he totally misrepresented what Comey said yesterday in his tweets during the hearings. In Trump , the Russians have found the perfect way to undermine western democracy , and they don't even really have to try. This clown sucks up any old nonsense that confirms his bias and presents it as fact.

lol that was pretty good. I wonder if he misrepresented it or if he misunderstood it.
I'm really not sure if he's schemey or just justpid

Fake news has always been around. It was Freud's nephew who is considered the father of propaganda.

Media have been telling nothing but lies for years. Now that the reputation of liberal media has reached an all time low and alternative internet sites are becoming increasingly popular, they have come out with the 'fake news' bs.

It's a bit pointless. But at least you can't see what the blocker wrote to you.
EP had that problem. The blocker could get in some snotty last word and then flee the conversation.
At least when the intellectually feeble run away here, their puerile bullshit disappears with them
