IIRC, fake news was originally used by the left, but co-opted by Trump.
You said something is "demonstrably false" that is actually happening and is documented in the subject of this whole thread.
Claim: Let's be honest, the only people screaming for censorship are firmly on the left
Contradiction: Trump, as I've shown in other comments, has also been calling for censorship for several news organizations.
The only way you believe this claim is not demonstrably false, is if you believe Trump is firmly left, which is ridiculous, but if he is, then I guess you got me.
This whole thing is a problem of the left (and I speak as a man of the left, thoroughly disgusted with the affair), and that is what I read from the "screaming" statement, and your counter as a denial of a very clear and shameful phenomenon.
The right wing tended to be more political ("Obama is a muslim communist who wants your guns") while left wing fake news tended to lean more towards new age, non-evidence-based "wellness" ("this juice cleanse will prevent cancer").
Trump, in what was quite frankly the smartest political move he's ever made, turned it on it's head and basically started using it to discredit actual stories that painted him in a bad light (inauguration numbers, etc).
