fake news is a mainstay of hate radio and foxnews, always has been.

fake news is what made donnie's presidency possible.

he couldn't have done it without wildly biased media coverage and a tons of negative stories about hillary, while the media brushed over hugely disqualifying stories about donnie.

donnie main have coined the phrase, but it existed long before him.
