So who has a bigger headache today: Margaret Sullivan of the Washington Post or CNN's Jim Acosta?
Last week, media columnist Sullivan requested that the term "fake news" be retired and today President-elect Donald Trump threw that term against Acosta when he shut him down during his press conference. At the press conference "fake news" was used 10 times thus dashing the hopes of the mainstream media folks that the now toxic term be terminated. Look for "fake news" to be thrown up against the MSM again and again over the next few years starting with today. Here is a compendium of that term as used today starting with incoming White House press secretary Sean Spicer:

Political jujitsu
They made it up, and we need to KEEP USING IT AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE.
It should be RELENTLESS.
Fake news.
Fake news.
Fake news.
Fake news.
Don’t worry Marco Rubio is right now betraying us and bailing out the media. We are witnessing treason on many levels. Rubio plans to torpedo Tilerson, and is now the darling of the press.
Fake News Mediot will be engraved on the tombstone of every Fake News Mediot of ABCNNBCBS/NYSlimes, Compost, LaRazaSlimes, ChiTribune.
That will be their only claim to fame as they disappear into the graveyards of irrelevant mediots.
These scum have been disseminating fake news for more than a Century. They start wars and destroy lives by the millions. They pretend to be anti-government while printing whatever the government says. The alt-media is putting an end to their free ride. The schadenfrued is strong with the seruzawa household.
Love it. I watch most of the conference this morning, now watching it in full, happy to see President-elect Trump tackle fake news directly.
Rubio is a fake senator, IMHO.
Fake is baked into the cake.
Just dawned that you might be quite closely associated with the linked piece ?
lol ;-)
Rubio and McCain and others need to lose their committee assignments. Trump should demand party loyalty.
I’m sick of fake news. Not the term, the use of. But what do you expect when Democrats run the mainstream media? “The god of this world has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe”. It’s never been more true than with the MSM.
now we know why they wanted the term retired. The MSM will have the chance to use the term about once a year. Trump and his supporters will have the chance to use it almost daily!
CNN is fake news.
Washington Post is fake news.
MSNBC is fake news.
When the rat MSM stooges first started using the term I was shocked. They were just begging to have the concept turned on them. I felt DJT wouldn’t let the opportunity be lost.
MSM fake news Frankenstein. I love it.
Correct me if I’m wrong but wasn’t the term “Fake News” invented by the purveyors of Fake News as a means of attaching their much more trustworthy Web-based competition with the Fake News label.
Where I come from that is considered to be a project that “Backfired”.
Big Time.
Live by the sword, die by the sword.
I cannot believe they fell for this ‘dossier’. Effing morons.
