Because social media has given rise to a lot of unconfirmed "reporting", basically anyone can create a web page (that looks like a media organisation) and then share articles from that page/blog as genuine news articles when they aren't.
It started on Buzzfeed I believe. It was due to the Social Media attacks on Clinton at the time so Buzzfeed coined the term "Fake news" in an effort to discredit the attacks on Clinton. The irony being when it became Trump's favourite term and it actually helped his campaign.
I think fake news is a term that's been floating around a while. The media and the DNC used it to try and discredit trump's election win and now that crazy arsehole Trump has taken their ball and run with it and just uses the term to challenge pretty much any statement or fact that challenges his position.
Very true fake news has always been here. But because of lefty mainstream media, they couldn't hack a some what conservative Donald trump going well in the elections so they went full steam ahead shitting out fake news every hour on the go. And trump used it to his advantage. That's why pc brigadiers never will win, they have a hard time sticking to facts. Th greatest is when they call someone racist for dissing their religion lol. Iran like atleast learn the meaning of the term before using it when you're being serious calling someone racist lol.I think fake news is a term that's been floating around a while.

Fake news has existed forever but it's the media and DNC who brought it right into the public consciousness and it's Trump who turned it into a marginally less childish way of saying fraud not.
Fake news has always existed in fine shape or form, but it's only recently that it has become an excuse.
She was put there to distract and divide and that's a fact!
Exactly! Her face is a fkn cringe
Mate plenty of fake news was written about HRC and the DNC too. I'm not saying they weren't targeted by people who produce fake news.... on just disputingvthat it cost them the election. Both HRC and Trump were the subjects of fake news stories throughout their campaigns.
A friend of mine was face to face with this scumbag today he claims and he didn't throw a knife at her.
His clearly lying if that's true.
