Well Fake news IS a thing. You can look at anything Donald Trump/Kelly conway/Spencer are saying for proof of that.

You can look at the fake Sweden attack Trump made up yesterday.

Bowling Green massacre did not happen. Alternative facts are not a good thing.

Calling things "Fake News" trying to get people to ignore them while actually spreading Fake news is a danger.

Nothing to see in Sweden? (I'll spare the more gruesome stories)

Nothing to see in Bowling Green?

Two Iraqi men who lived in Bowling Green, Ky., were indicted in 2011 and are serving life sentences for using improvised explosive devices against U.S. soldiers in Iraq and also for attempting to send weapons and money to Al-Qaeda in Iraq for the purpose of killing U.S. soldiers.

The devil is in the details...

Trump gave a time period for the Sweden attacks yet nothing occured on that day. That links also describes the attacks as organised crime, not terrorist attacks or in any way linked to the influx of refugees in Sweden as Trump insinuated.

Kellyanne Conway said there was a massacre and had to backtrack. She also said it wasn't covered by the media but it received extensive coverage. I even remember it getting reported in the UK.
