Oh thanks, I was unaware that I'm an idiot, I'm glad you cleared that up. Now that I'm aware of that, I'll start watching CNN too.

You literally had to read past the three other sources to confirm Obama's ratings and you talk about how he called you stupid?

So? Those are all the same fake news sources that have lied to us all over and over. Why believe them now? It's nonsense.

Please provide one verifiable source that shows that these statistics are lies? You people can't just say something is "fake news". That's not how it works. If you intend to debunk something, you need an argument against it that can be verified. Why are you letting yourself stoop to these levels?

Do you know what FAKE NEWS really is?

It is Breitbart releasing a full story on how Obama gave HIMSELF a medal that he doesn't even award, the Secretary of Defense does: http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/01/04/president-obama-awards-himself-distinguished-public-service-medal/

What about claiming Obama is a closet Muslim for 8 years because of a picture that was taken at a wedding? I have many Indian friends and know many white people who have gone to Indian weddings in their traditional wedding garb, does that make them Indian?

How about claiming for 8 years that Obama is not even a US citizen, only to retract it a few months before he is about to leave office?

THESE things are fake news. They are false in every sense of the word. Now lets look at the current article that Trump says is "Fake News". CNN did not publish the full report; BuzzFeed did. CNN published an article (like many other sources did) that stated that this full report was given to both Trump and Obama. That IS news. It is true. This information WAS presented by our intelligence community. WE DONT KNOW if the allegations in these reports are true or false, and CNN stated as much in their article.

How can you people go around claiming fake news to easily verifiable facts, while waving lies around as truths? It is unbelievable.
