    She's right; "fake news" wasn't a phrase @realDonaldTrump thought up or started; it was a rollout by liberal interests but Trump & conservative interests took it over. I discuss the origin in my book. Much misreporting on this point. @HowardKurtz @MediaBuzzFNC

        Trump entirely redefined it, though, no? “Fake news” originally denoted a made-up story intended to deceive. In Trump’s usage it’s a true story intended to distract from his accomplishments, or something.

        Yes this is what I write about. Also Trump's usage: reporting false info such as that he removed MLK bust from oval office, that he was lying when he said Comey told him 3 times he wasn't under investigation, etc.

        Sure, but Trump's use of "fake" to describe those good-faith mistakes is wholly distinct from the original (bad faith) meaning of "fake news." I still think it's fair to credit him with a coinage.

        Those are not good faith mistakes. They’re bias driven attempts to delegitimize his presidency. They happen far too often, and are all one sided to be anything else. This honest mistake scenario is just the latest attempt of Leftist media to never be held accountable.

        Liberal media blamed Fake News for getting Trump elected. Then he took the phrase away from them, and bludgeoned them with it. 🙂

        When Trump started using it, I took it as a more politicized representation of what had been previously described as liberal bias in the press.

        The left used the phrase as a political weapon in the first place.

        Yes, language is everything. Trump is a master at succinct portrayals of the opposition. Crooked Hillary and fake news had a large impact on the political narrative.

        I remember the Clinton surrogates demanding social media censor accounts that spread 'fake news' (which were unflattering stories about the Clintons and their foundation that might have a detail wrong)

        Fake news didn't start with Trump. The lib media lied and covered for Obama and Hillary for a decade. Trump just called them out publicly.

        The fact that leftist and their propaganda arm coined the phrase is what makes it infinitely funnier that the phrase is so widely used against them.

        Its like the Columbus vs Leif Erikson ‘discovered’ North America arguments. Academics run to thump everyone with their facts while everyone else experiences a phenomenon that makes it a household word. Which is more important ? The 2nd of course
