      If Fake News by other names has always been around, why does it suddenly become the stuff of daily headlines during the 2016 election? @SharylAttkisson explains how a non-profit called First Draft was the first to use the term in its modern context on Sept 13, 2016...Google & HRCpic.twitter.com/8G9382Gyr8

      You may be right. But since I have found that few people I spoke knew the etymology of the phrase "fake news," you could be wrong. But not everything is everybody's cup of tea! That's what makes the world go round.

          I believe at that date they knew they were going to have a problem with Podesta’s emails. I would guess that they had been working on a way of censoring news but probably went into overdrive for when the emails dropped in October.

          Not with leftists. If it’s not their cup of tea; then the obvious conclusion is youre a xenophobic, homophobic, racist, sexist who is literally Hitler

          Knew that the "Fake News" was started in the Hillary campaign to be used against Trump during the election. And then Trump co-opted the term to use against the liberal media.

          I never used the term "fake news" I always preferred 'Bullshit' And that's been around forever
