So, Bruce, have you figured out what "fake news" is? It's not some individual turning in a false report. That happens all the time. If a news agency reports that as fact without bothering to fact-check, it becomes fake news.

Falsehoods that have been disproved but are still repeated, that's fake news. A good example is the stuff about members of Congress getting full-salary pensions and free health insurance after any length of service. That stuff has been broadcast as fact for years and years. It takes well over 30 years of service for a member of congress to retire at full salary - and even then, they have to continue paying for their health insurance.

The thing about Mrs. Clinton and the pizza parlor sex ring - that's both fake news and preposterous, but people believe it. And yes, both sides resort to fake news on occasion - but in the case of Trump, it was the candidate himself who was broadcasting the lies while calling his opponent "lying Hillary."
