The very organization's that coined the term "Fake News" are now crying for the public to abandon what they consider to be a now weaponized phrase to belittle journalists, and Co-Opted by President Donald Trump

Leave it to George Soros' Open Society Foundation and Google and the Ford Foundation, the essence of Authoritarian Globalist to fund an Organization that helped coin the phrase and than inject it into Hillary Clinton and Barrak Obama's political speeches

A quote from an article on Zerohedge Authored by Erik Sandberg via Medium.com on Journalist Sharyl Attkisson who traced the orgins of the term Fake News.

Sharyl Attkisson The Left Invented Fake News

A month after First Draft began its September campaign against "Fake News," President Obama opined on the topic.

"He insisted in a speech that he too thought somebody needed to step in and curate information of this wild, wild west media environment," said Attkisson, noting that "nobody in the public had been clamoring for any such thing."

Attkisson was suspicious that Obama's decree served as marching orders to the MSM - suggesting that "few themes arise in our environment organically," and to "follow the money."

"What if the whole anti-fake news campaign was an effort on somebody's part to keep us from seeing or believing certain websites and stories by controversializing them or labeling them as fake news?" suggested Attkisson.

Meanwhile, another major donor behind First Draft's "fake news" push was none other than Google parent company CEO Eric Schmidt - a giant Hillary Clinton supporter who "offered himself up as a campaign advisor and became a top multi-million donor to it," said Attkisson, adding "His company funded First Draft around the start of the election cycle."

And almost as if choreographed, Hillary Clinton jumped on the Fake News bandwagon while her "surrogate David Brock of Media Matters privately told donors he was the one who convinced Facebook to join the effort."

"The whole thing smacked of the roll-out of a propaganda campaign," said Attkisson.

President Trump has Co-Opted the Term, and cleaned literal establishment clock with that phrase ever since it's inception.

Not only was the Phrase Fake News crafted by an organization that is funded with money from organization's with Globalist reputations and ambitions, but Corporate America also colluded with them as well, and to top it all off it was gift wrapped and boxed and handed to Hillary Clinton and Barrak Obama to inject into the Mainstream Media Machine to demoralize the rising Decentralized Citizen Journalists and Alternative News Outlets who had a very strong grassroots hand in Donald Trump's election to the Presidency.

Now I give you the best part of the story. Various clips and headlines of Fake News Outlets who tried to take a term they now consider to be weaponized and are begging the public to reconsider it's usage and removal from the American Vocabulary.
