Pizzagate is a conspiracy.

Lying about news coverage on a "prominent and legitimate" station is fake news. 

Do most people go to Reddit subpages and the National Enquirer for their news or watch CNN (Donna Brazil releasing debate questions) and NBC (your example of Brian Williams) for the news?

Point being... there are those on the left and right that want to talk Russian conspiracies and fake news and how people should trust their gubermints... both sides have done plenty in my eyes to never trust a ### #### thing they say. I certainly don't need them telling me where to seek my news.

Was Brian Williams making up news or just trying to make himself sound cool. I remember it being the latter but I could be wrong.

Pizzagate or probably a better example the Sandy Hook hoaxer types from the Infowars dude are what I associate more with "fake news". They definitely get into conspiracy theory territory but it blends so easily now with news with Twitter and "news sites" that populate their content with random articles.

Alex Jones... conspiracy theorists have been around forever. This rhetoric is tiresome and reactionary to a loss the left did not expect given the polls leading up to the election. The fact that Hillary Clinton was as vile and putrid to half the nation as Trump is escapes those that voted for her. In the end what did it matter. She would have covertly sold her soul to Goldman Sachs, Trump is doing it in the open. Eventually they'll just destroy the fiat dollar but that's another discussion all together.

Isn't Trump always crying about fake news? Wasn't aware this was a problem the left created.
