None of them are fake. All of them seemed legitimately suspicious, and for two of them, it turned out the media definitely made grave errors in rushing to a narrative that fit the times.
Jury is still out on the third...

I hope you're joking. These are prime examples of fake news stories. They were driven by people with political agendas and no real commitment to the truth.
There is barely anything left of "real journalism."
You don't understand what real journalism is.

The worst is Covington
Russia I understand and was justified. It was a big deal, even if you are neutral on the subject, that the president has shady dealings (true), and that he and close allies were/are being investigated (true).
But Covington headlines should have read : “teenager with field trip to Us capitol makes variety of awkward-feeling facial expessions when elderly native Americans drums near to his face. And also no violence took place. Just people standing there.” Or, nothing. Because it wasn’t newsworthy.

I think the 2nd worst is the Covington kids reporting. Once again, because it caused division.
Lastly is the Smollett attack. While it was certainly bad, all reasonable people I know agree that reporting on it was horrible at first, but corrected later. And the media didn't try to sugar coat the truth.
The local media in Chicago did a fabulous job of reporting on the Smollett hoax.
I would agree with this.

Just because you are desperately clinging by your fingernails to the hope that Barr's words are not to be taken at face value does not, in fact, make "Russia Collusion" authentic news.

Still hoping, we see.
It's done. The sooner you come to grips with it, the better for your mental health.

Eddie Johnson, the Chicago Police Superintendent, deserves kudos for his work and the way he shared the truth, which I'm sure was painful to him on many levels. I admire him greatly.

Definitely collusion. He’s never asked Russia for help or offered a reward for such help.
