Donald Trump, often called anything he disliked, fake news. I hated this, because his nonsense was distracting from an important, real issue.
In America, what passes as news is one celebrity type reporter, interviewing another celebrity type reporter, expressing their personal thoughts, opinions, and feelings. That is not real news. Real news would report the facts -- all of them -- The wonderful, good, bad, and ugly, and then shut up, and let you think for yourself. We do not have that in America.
Donald Trump's "fake news" was not fake. Trump is just a narcissistic fascist jerk, who simply does not like bad press. If you disagree with him, he would always, and still does, claim everyone was fake. And it does not surprise me that he is attacking news outlets. It's awful.
But it is distracting from the fact that, American news source, cannot even criticize Jeff Bezos, or Elon Musk, for example, because they own the very media outlets that would normally report on them.
It is all an awful mess, and none of it good.
