    The Fake News meme was a synthetic creation of the corporate media to try and salvage their influence in the midst of their increasing irrelevance.

    Fake News in the sense of false stories have been around FOREVER, but only in 2016 did the corporate media try to brand it into Fake News, some new dangerous thing that threatens our world. They did this because people increasingly don't watch television anymore, don't read newspapers anymore, and get their news from other, online sources. How are you supposed to get customers back to your trough when the winds have changed away from your medium? You brand anyone but you unreliable and a creator of Fake News. So don't trust online journalists, come back home to mama and watch the nightly news on abc, cbs, fox, nbc and their cable channels along with cnn so they can tell you how to think. Go subscribe to a newspaper so you can get some nostalgic feeling by having it delivered on Sunday morning. That age of media is over, and the "Fake News" meme was created to try and prolong that age. Needless to say it totally backfired when every outlet just saturated the public conversation with accusations of fake news to smear each other.

    Ultimately, fake news in the sense of false reporting has been around as long as journalism has and it still goes on in every form of media, newspapers, cable news, network news, online, etc.

    One more time the point is Obamas BC proves he is not an NBC on the face of it. Trumps at least says he is an NBC. You prove he was born somewhere else or that those are not his parents. His mother was naturalized 4 years before his birth meaning he had both parents being US citizens and he was born here unless of course you can find a different BC

    No he is the son of a British subject and he has never renounced his British citizenship granted him upon birth

    Yes. When Obama was looking for an event to stoke the flames of race hatred and the Trayvon-Zimmerman fight fortuitously came about, MSNBC edited out the part of Zimmerman's 911 call where the operator asked for the race of the suspicious loiterer to make the altercation appear to be a case of profiling and reported their creation as news. To support the Obama narrative, the media took every opportunity to describe Hispanic Zimmerman as 'White'. The media also forgot to mention that at the time of the actual confrontation, Trayvon's girlfriend reported that the kid who could have been Obama's son was the aggressor and at the time of the shooting was on top of Zimmerman beating his head into the sidewalk.

    Obama also says he is a nbc. He provided his long form birth certificate too. Where is trumps?

    In Obama's day, the "fake news" came out of Obama's mouth. Obama was a talented liar and that is one reason Dr. Carson termed Obama, psychopathic personality disorder.
    And what did the LSM do at the time. Cover an incongruity once and drop it.
    Who can forget Obama's assurances about privacy and mass data collection. Ooops.
    Or, if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. Ooops.

    Fake News has always been with us. Except this time it is initiated & perpetuated by journalist.

    We can all see that the truth of the subject continues to be deflected. Prior to the 2008 campaign, Andy Martin (Dem-IL) was the first to use this against Obama. The Clinton campaign certainly latched onto the anti-American narrative in 08 election and her followers attempted to blow it out of proportion. This is irrefutable fact. No one can deny it. So contrary to your last statement facts make you a revisionist of truth.


    "The answer lies in Democratic, not Republican politics, and in the bitter, exhausting spring of 2008. At the time, the Democratic presidential primary was slipping away from Hillary Clinton and some of her most passionate supporters grasped for something, anything that would deal a final reversal to Barack Obama".
    "The original smear against Obama was that he was a crypto-Muslim, floated in 2004 by perennial Illinois political candidate and serial litigant Andy Martin. Other related versions of this theory alleged that Obama was educated in an Indonesian “madrassa” or steeped in Islamist ideology from a young age, and the theories began to spread virally after Obama appeared on the national stage – to the casual observer, from nowhere – with his early 2007 presidential campaign announcement".

    But Obamas BC says otherwise . All his BC proves is that he is not an NBC. Trumps BC says he is an NBC , its not Trump making the claim

    Not according to the definition of nbc used by everyone else. You seem to have your own definition of the term. Few agree with you

    That definition is wrong. He is a native born citizen not a natural born one. Native born was rejected by congress.

    That the courts have lost the meaning of NBC is the problem. Its a very simple idea based on nature not statute

    It doesnt change the fact Im correct. Any other position is at odds with history . If native born and natural born are the same why did they change it ? Which is more restrictive in having less of a foreign influence? Which takes no act of congress to make one an NBC?

    Pretty much the entire OBarry presidency was maintained with fake logic, economic and foreign health reporting, the reason the libby's were fooled is because whenever the truth squirted out they always hammered the ever favorite "Bush's fault" or the "I found out just like you folks, from the new" fox news I'm sure, as the MSM fake news was in lock step with OBarry's fake presidency all of his eight years and counting!

    Yes it certainly sticks in their craw. They originally swallowed that bone and no matter how they attempt to revise the facts it's still theirs to own.

    Your wishes for it to be irrelevant don't change the facts. While we can say the same for those of the Left that made the claim that John McCain was Not a natural born citizen.
