It did for like 6 months before Trump started using it to describe anything that hurts his feelings.

Ah the good old days when it was just called tabloids and fake news wasn't a term used to discredit articles and organizations that the president doesn't like

You are just making things up and expecting your team to back you up. If you actually remember what happened when fake news was unveiled you would realize that if was a leftist talking point that was immediately turned against them. There was no 6 month period.

Preevyet is correct. Propagandists such as CNN and a few other "heavyweights" started pushing the idea Trump won because of "Fake news" on Facebook--but specifically focusing on pro-Trump fake news, not obvious pro-Hillary fake news that anyone on Facebook with a level head also knew existed.

Then CNN specifically created a list of "Fake News" sites and put some conservative websites on it, which they were forced to retract and remove from their list. Shortly after, the term Fake News got thrown onto them and it'll take them years to shake. They wish they never created it.

this lmao

Mainstream media was slandering online news sources to regain credibility and to imply they were the only people you could trust.

It was a shady marketing ploy that backfired horribly

no, it really won't. only the alt right trumpers who religiously watch fox, read breitbart and infowars actually think CNN is fake news.

trump says obviously false statements nearly daily. rational people are aware he's nothing but a pathological liar.

He must have also missed the fact you're the topic creator, so you're the best person to say what the topic is about.
