Only the POTUS is allowed to tell us or tweet what fake news is..Everyone else is just not smart enough to figure it out.. Come one people it's all crap! It became fake when it went 24 hr looped and for entertainment not information. Add all the slanted mouth piece, blow hards and it's all crap! About all you can believe is the local news now days. Where ya already know the story before it's reported because you saw it happen.

Any "news" story that begins with: "unnamed sources say that....." is fake. I hear this phrase quite frequently, primarily on MSPMS, CNN, NBC, ABC and CBS. This Sad part is that what they spew isn't even good satire.

The mainstream media is owned and controlled by the wannabe new world order globalist government. They do not care about the United States and Trump has ruined their plans. They get their talking point every morning at 4 a.m. (so I have heard) and they all get the same message. They change the phrases a little so it doesn't look exactly the same..but.. it is exactly the same. We all know this has been the case for a long time. The last administration could do no wrong. This one can do no good. If you would like to see for yourself you can research it in open source. These folks will welcome all patriots. https://qanon.pub/ WWG1WGA

If the POTUS had used the term "biased" it would have been more accurate and acceptable. How come almost all the TV networks seem to be "left" and maybe only FOX is on the right? Could they all be that biased? Maybe they aren't. They do all get suckered into the Days Of Our Lives soap box reporting though on crap that doesn't even matter. Unfortunately twitter messages tend to make everything matter when it shouldn't. POTUS got the term "fake News" direct from the leftist media. They made that term up to attack internet news sources when they constantly (the main stream media) got caught lying. I was stationed in GTMO when the whole waterboarding thing was hot. The only station to accurately report what was going on in GTMO was fox news... I lived the story so on this small case I can definitively say CNN, MSNBC,ABC, NBC faked the news about GTMO...

It's funny the guy that said that any news found on facebook is fake. Facebook, Twitter and the like are about the only places to get real news nowadays, besides C-span.
The days of a reporter investigating an issue and presenting the facts, minus his/her own opinion, are gone. And yes, that goes for Fox just as much as CNN. It's all fake, but those that DO watch the news usually choose to watch one that is biased towards his or her personal beliefs.
So, imo, the only way there is now to get real news, is to investigate the issues yourself and make up your own mind, which is where facebook and twitter come in handy. Examples of things I watch on social media are clips from C-span, local and national political debates and speeches, the President's rallies, the press secretary's releases, news clips (from any station, right or left) that actually show congressmen or fbi agents, or whoever speaking themselves. Things like that... things that can't really be fake because it's the actual person saying whatever he or she is saying, opposed to someone else telling you what they said and what they meant.
As for other things you might hear on the news, such as mainly numbers... being they pertain to the GDP, unemployment, the dow, crime rates whatever... can easily be researched yourself to verify if what is being said on the news is true.
So basically in my opinion, watching the news is fine. I do sometimes... and sometimes it will be fox, and other times cnn or msnbc. Usually, the "news" on fox vs cnn is complete opposites of each other... so that's when it's time to look further into the issue yourself.

Just maybe the real issue is not what is offered to us by any of the media news orgs, it is what we choose to believe. We make choices as individuals and we need to live with those good, bad and or ugly. If progressive and conservative news organizations can make good money convincing any of us what we should or should not believe then the are accomplishing their goals in our capitalistic media based world.
Bryce 100% correct. But it seems that many want there to be a team they can believe is all good and the rest are all bad. They do it with news sources just like they do with political parties.

It isn't necessarily that lies are told or that facts are omitted.
Facts can be slanted depending on the phrase(s) used to present them...
If you don't believe certain words or phrases are chosen to paint a chosen picture of the facts at hand... I've got a bridge and a few national monuments I'll sell you at a great price.
As far as local news goes... Look at the graphics they display behind the anchors as they read the copy. Especially if the story line involves firearms.
If you don't think there is an agenda to program your perceptions you need to pay more attention.
