You don't have to watch long to see the tactic. Accuse others of what they accuse you of. You are a puppet. No you are. etc.

I don't think you understand the difference between lies and fake news... The last 2 stories for instance, which are stories 5 and 6 on cnn's front page, are fake news...
You might not like that term, you might agree with what's written in those stories, the information found in those stories might be partially or even fully accurate... Nevertheless, they are fake news because they aren't news at all, the information isn't newsworthy, and yet it appears on the front page of a major news site...
If everything that appears on CNN gets labeled fake news, they have no one to blame but themselves for peddling so much of it.... #nothingburger
