Talking Points memo belongs on there - they've been doing some of the best reporting since the election, in my view. I would place them in the liberal oval below near Huffington.

Trickle Down Economics. A page I follow on my FB.

Where do you think Daily Beast would fall? Doesn't Joy Reid write for them?

Thanks for the input!

My feeling is that "fake news" is a vague term and, thus, overused. It doesn't describe what is behind the content or website in question.

I wrote about the subject "Vague term ‘fake news’ popular in fact-averse Trump world" here.

Lies are are thrown around routinely, and Trump fits right in.
