I'd really like to see a few journalists probe just a smidgen deeper: "Mr. Vice President, you just complained about 'fake news.' Could you provide some examples, so the American people can be sure of what you're talking about?"

There is indeed fake news... but it's all rightwing agitprop. These assclowns are just projecting, hoping to sustain their diversions.
