March 29th, 2017: The day the term "Fake News" officially lost all meaning.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/gop-planned-parenthood_us_58dbfbd7e4b0546370646fd9?section=us_politics

California Attorney General Xavier Becerra charged David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt, the anti-abortion activists behind the videos, with “15 felony counts of violating the privacy of health-care providers by recording confidential information without their consent,” The Washington Post first reported.

...

Daleiden called the charges “fake news” in a statement on Wednesday.



------------

"What? The Attorney General is charging me with 15 felonies? That's Fake Neeeeeeeews!"

"Your Honor, the reason I didn't appear in court last time was that the Attorney General didn't really charge me with felonies. That's Fake Neeeeeeeews!"
