The only fake news is whatever the liar in chief vomits up at his press conferences and on his daily Twitter meltdown.

Guy literally lumped Mueller into the 18 angry Democrats group.

How could it be fake and real at the same time? That doesn't even make sense

"Fake news" is a term that shows that people do not understand the difference between the "News" and "Editorial/Opinion" segments. Any cable news reporter that anyone can complain about is on an "Editorial/Opinion" show or segment.

"News" is the headlines, and the direct reporting of them. Any expansion upon that is "Opinion/Editorial". They are blended together seamlessly by cable news from all of the networks, but are still two totally different things.

While this is true, the most people still refer to either as "news" so the term "fake news" still applies

Posts 11 and 12 are covered in paragraph 2, sentence 3, "They are blended together seamlessly by cable news from all of the networks".

This is a deceptive practice, used by all, and the real problem with news. The majority of people cannot, or do not care to, distinguish the difference.
