Yes @natepower, well as I recall in the beginning it was CNN that brought up this term that was no doubt added to their buzzword list along with the now famous " conspiracy theorist" by the deepstate players in the CIA that were channeling their narratives and agendas through the MSM !
But it was Trump that turned all that round when he used their own term to destroy the MSM by citing them as being the fake news ! So it seems that the term is more owned now by the Truth movement than them and so the whole thing has backfired and so now they demonise their own created buzzword in an attempt to stem the tide which clearly now leaves without them ! Its a matter of time, they are all donw and washed up and nobody truly believes a word leaving their mouth !
I dont think that Britain and the USA do share the same fate on the face of things right now ! As indeed we voted two years ago to leave Europe and we are still struggling to enact our vote ! Whereas you voted the same year for Trump and now he is your President and to my mind one of the best ever !!
Writing is difficult and I will not pretend that i too struggle to get across that which I would like to say ! But say something in the right direction than say nothing at all Bother !
