Hopefully it will start working soon but I am sure the news networks will be talking about them all night and day tmmrw.. Well probably not the ones that are involved in the fake stories (CNN)

Top 5 awardees:

1. NYT - Paul Krugman for saying economy would crash and never recover because of Trump’s election.
2. ABC - the whole Brian Ross fake news about Trump’s ties to Russia that made Joy Behar wet her pants
3 CNN - that Don Jr. received info from Wikileaks before the emails were made public
4 Time - Trump removed the bust of MLK from oval office
5 WaPo - the David Weigel pic of the rally in Pensacola taken hours before the rally started

Their entire network is fake. Hard to nail down one or two instances. Seriously.

I LOVE THIS

The erosion of a free press. So glad the "patriotic" Americans are "loving" this.

Truly pathetic.

Truly pathetic.

The “free press” has eroded itself with its propensity to publish false information in an effort to be “first.” Perhaps if they paid a bit more attention to getting their information correct, this would not be an issue.

Got to agree completely with the award to Krugman.

The dope went out on a limb to predict the market would go down by 20% if Trump was elected.

np: if the free press pubished only fully accurate information, DJT would never be President. He only got there because they gave him so much free air time to spew his lies.

Trump used the media brilliantly and they were whores for ratings and so they gave him non-stop coverage. Of course, they never thought he would actually win the presidency.

I think the definition of fake news is getting muddled here.
