More than 50 former senior intelligence officials have signed on to a letter outlining their belief that the recent disclosure of emails allegedly belonging to Joe Biden’s son “has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”

Trump showed his fealty to Putin in Helsinki.

The FBI did indeed have concerns about the Alpha Bank/Trump connection and the Alfa Bank results “have been validated and are reproducible. The findings of the researchers were true then and remain true today.

In summary, all of your examples off "Fake News" end up being valid reporting on actual events of public interest. OTOH, your beloved Wingnut News reporting on Seth Rich, Sandy Hook, Dominion/SmartMatic and other election lies were indeed lies from the very start and were not reporting on actual events, but deliberately contrived lies. The fact that you assert that all of these news stories are equivalently and deliberately fake reflects your indoctrination in the wingnut mantra that all news but wingnut news is fake.

In short, the MSM tries to get its reporting right and sometimes fails, but then corrects or retracts. Wingnut news, OTOH, makes shit up from whole cloth and doubles down when called out on it. They are not equivalent.

You're arguing points that I'm not making. For example:

Do you deny that the initial reporting on Sandmann painted him as the instigator in the confrontation with the native American? It was absolutely reported that way.

You posted a link to an article where you state Trump's DOJ curtailed the Kavanaugh investigation. However, the article you linked to makes no such statement.

Apparently in your world, protests that result in dozens killed or injured and billions of dollars in property damage are "mostly peaceful". Sorry, not buying the spin.

Yes, the FBI found 50 useful idiots to sign on to a statement that says stories about Hunter B's laptop look like Russian disinformation....before the 2020 election. That statement has since been discredited. The Feds are now reportedly close to making a decision about bringing charges against Hunter B.

I could go on, but it gets tiresome helping you keep your facts straight.
