So what is Fox News engaged in? 24/7 dihearrea? I never heard any peep from anyone that they were overblowing Hilary's emails.

It is actually fairly dangerous that a president is injecting himself into a free democratic press, because basically really what "fake news" means coming from Trump is essentially "any news I don't like". Which is extremely dangerous to any democracy when the elected officials start censoring any view points they don't like. 

Which is really IMO what this is all about. Trump wants a "phony war" with the media to allow for only coverage that is favorable to him. 

My point is Trump blasts the media with 'fake news' and when CNN engages in it , people go well 'trump is right'

Because they're intellectually lazy in that reasoning. 

First of all there is a legit investigation into Trump-Russia, that isn't "fake news". Every network chooses to emphasize certain stories over others, CNN pushed hard on that story it turned out there was no huge smoking gun (which they were never going to get, how stupid do you think the Russians are? They're very smart). 

Fox News runs garbage all day long, year after year, so what is differet now? The difference is it's CNN saying bad things about "Emperor Trump". Well so what? This isn't North Korea, he doesn't get to decide what stories the press covers or with what slant they cover it with. 

This is a concerted effort by Trump to tarnish any view point that he doesn't like as "fake". Which is an extreme dangerous thing for a preisdent to be doing. It has no place in a democracy.
