The logic I'm applying is that do NOT get caught up in the trap of one's vague relatism ("most people" which is what YOU said) to further one's agenda. But I will say that the term "fake news" originally came from the left to "justify" Trump's election win. Now, it's backfiring. This is the big picture. |
I said that? wow I had no idea. I shouldn't have stated that I didn't (oh wait).
My point was that clearly no matter who used it first, it was after Trump started repeating it that it caught on and was used by his fans for obvious reasons. Nothing backfired. Even if Obama had not used the term, Trump would have to fight the media and would come up with the same or a slightly altered term to deflect from his own lies. So hiding behind the "I didn't poll the general audience" ain't fooling anyone. Other than his fans, perhaps.
