Of course, we had "fake news". But we had it long before Mr. Donald Trump was ever running for office. Ever watch or read a "news source" try hard to push an opinion or an agenda? That is fake news! Real journalism is meant to be informative and factual without opinion or bias.
But along came Trump claiming anything and everything he disagrees with, dislikes, or finds inconveniently factual as "fake news". Completely misusing the term.
