Bob Schroeck Wrote:In the face of his accusations and slurs this afternoon, I think the absolute worst thing the media can do to Trump is what they're already doing: repeat him verbatim, leaving him trapped in a logic bomb where he must either admit they did not lie, or admit that he himself is fake news.One of the political analysts on CBC radio today mentioned something along the lines of the meaning of "fake news" is now "whatever isn't flattering to Trump" - truth and falsehood have nothing to do with whether it's "fake" any more. Thus, it can't be "fake news" if Trump says it.
Mind you, spectators outside the Beltway might disagree with that redefinition.
