Now, let me just say that shame on BuzzFeed for putting out the report in the first place because it wasn't 100% verified by anyone. BuzzFeed took the excuse that they want to get news out first instead of getting accurate news out while at the same time disclaiming that "this isn't 100% verified". Still, let us be fair and say that it wasn't true that Donald Trump does golden showers. We all know that it is because he "is a germaphobe" even though he has exclaimed in the past that he "isn't a germaphobe." It's okay, ten years ago I would have told you that I couldn't get girls, but now I have a girlfriend, so people change I guess. What is the most discerning is the fact that Donald Trump doesn't know what fake news actually is. You know, those purposefully deceiving articles on Facebook that are titled, "Jaden Smith is Gay" or "Lady Gaga is a Man" or "Global Warming is Fake"... Sorry, that is "fake news" that conservatives believe in, moving on!
I have come to the conclusion that "fake news" to Donald Trump and his stanch supporters is anything that either criticizes Donald Trump or anything that makes him look bad (true or false). This usually being liberal platforms because they think that they can say something that might get Trump removed from his office before he even takes it. So far, the only news station that hasn't been coined "fake news" has been Fox News, which is funny because they either lie, are deceiving, or are dead wrong all the time. Well here's the thing, Donald Trump had his press conference, filled with blank folders with blank pieces of paper, because Trump is too stupid to know that "files" are all digital and the continuous "war" against fake news. After calling BuzzFeed fake news as well as CNN, reporter Jim Acosta decided to try to get Trump to answer a question. And while he was kind of rude about it, Donald continued to shut him down and tell him that he was fake news, while afterwards taking questions from Breitbart. Jim never got a chance to answer the question and Donald Trump looked like the strong parent that shut their child down.
Now, what did CNN do wrong to be coined by the President Elect "fake news"? Well, during the time when this 35 page golden shower piece had come out, CNN gained intelligence from CIA sources that the Russians had personal and financial information about Donald Trump. My guess is, yes, that is probably true, especially when you have members of the CIA having knowledge. So that is why CNN was called "fake news", sounds legit! Now I don't watch CNN because I feel like they can sometimes do a better job with their reporting internationally and at times they are very bias with that same reporting. They aren't the most bias, far from it, but I feel like they miss the point many times and don't ask the important questions. However, one cannot really call them "fake news" because there is no evidence that they are purposefully misleading people.
But I don't understand why Donald Trump has such a big problem with fake news in the first place. I would theorize that fake news was one of the biggest reasons why Donald Trump won in the first place. As a matter of fact, Paul Horner, a fake news writer that made a lot of money making up stories during the election said that he made up many stories that Donald Trump, his campaign manager and his supporters openly believed. Once he came up with a made up story about how Democrats were paying people to protest Donald Trump rallies. Horner went on to say that Donald's campaign manager Corey Lewandowski and Trump's son, Eric, actually retweeted another fake news story about how Amish people were voting for Donald Trump. Horner went on to conclude that he thought that Trump and his supporters would fact check his work, but they never did and that those people would look like idiots if they posted something that was untrue and then looked it up afterwards. However, "Trump supporters just kept running with it! They never fact check anything!" This allows me to conclude that if fake news hurts the opposition, then he doesn't care, but if it hurts him, it is "Fake News" and the war is on!
People in the media have to be mighty scared about this because it effects every one of them. There is no doubt that there are skeletons living in Donald Trump's closet and it is up to the media to expose that. It is up to the media to tell the people what is going on in this country and in the world and it is up to them to be truthful about it. Positive things about Donald Trump or negative things about Donald Trump, they are all allowed to be said. What our man-child of a president doesn't understand is that we have something in this country called "freedom of the press", which is protected under the first amendment. For a president that cares so much about Political Correctness and how we need free speech, he seems to get extra "triggered" when people have negative things to say about him. Should BuzzFeed apologize to him for doing what they did? Sure, they should, but it isn't like Donald really cares about lies, because he lies all the time and if he doesn't know it, then surely he is a complete idiot! When we lose our freedom of the press in this country is the moment where we stop being a free nation. Now lets all gouge our eyes out for picturing Donald Trump partaking in a golden shower!
