What's on your mug?

Any news story, truthful or not, which depicts Donald Trump in a bad light, or which conflicts with his current views.

All those news stories and videos which show me saying the things I said I didn't say are fake news.

CNN, Fake News! (Generally spoken in a way that reminds the audience of Donald Trump)

1) Any news that fails to coddle an infantile president's ego. 2) A mainstream news article that fails to validate one's political opinion. 3) Obscure webpages with false or extremely exaggerated stories that generate ad revenue using clickbait.

1) "Don't believe the main stream (fake news) media.The White House is running VERY WELL. I inherited a MESS and am in the process of fixing it." 2) Fucking libtard snowflakes love FAKE NEWS like BBC. I only trust Breitbart and rightwingnews.ru. 3) Uncle Clevis loves to share fake news conspiracy theories on Facebook.

It USED to mean news that wasn’t real, a completely false narrative. But today that definition has been twisted into a new definition: ‘Fake News’ - news or statements that don’t paint the picture of YOU in a good light or that don’t measure up to a particular self-image. It does not refer to News that isn’t true or a lie specifically although it may or may not include truthfulness. It has been used as a standard attack-phrase against any person or agency that speaks or writes about any matter or event, truth or not, that does not measure up to a person’s desired projected self image. Rather than confronting the conversation, a person will dismiss it with the phrase of ‘Fake News’ and immediately pivot to another topic in order to remove the glaring lights of an unflattering introspection of his actions. It should not be substituted for the word ‘lie’, although it appears to be currently used as a euphemism for ‘lies’ but in fact it may be hiding actual truths and not lies. So before getting into a conversation with a person who likes to use that phrase, the definition of that term should be clarified at the beginning so that it may not be used as a cloak to hide behind.

"Wow, so many Fake News stories today. No matter what I do or say, they will not write or speak truth. The Fake News Media is out of control!" - (an actual tweet)
