Fox News anchor Shepard Smith and CNN anchor Jake Tapper both invoked the plea deal Friday to push back on the White House's use of the term "fake news."

Smith, speaking about the plea deal with Wall Street Journal associate editor John Bussey, said the latest development undermines Trump's claim of "fake news."

"That this is a ruse, that this is 'fake news,' is a lie," he said on his show.

“I think that Michael Flynn pleading guilty to this charge today explicitly gives an answer to that question. It’s not fake news," Bussey agreed.

1. Since I never watch Fux for health reasons

I have gotten the word from people on DU, who have a stronger constitution than mine and do watch Fux occasionally, that Smith is the only legit anchor on their network. I mentioned him at Thanksgiving Dinner and no one ever heard of him since they are all Dems and don't watch Fux. They couldn't believe that Fux has a real newsperson on staff. How come they haven't fired him by now?
