Congratulations Paul! Maybe the stock market will indeed never recover.

My favorite is #4 TIME FALSELY reported that President Trump removed a bust of Martin Luther King, Jr. from the Oval Office.

1. The New York Times’ Paul Krugman claimed on the day of President Trump’s historic, landslide victory ...

That's where I stopped reading. I'm gonna assume the other placements are all gop.com.

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

THIS

Saw so many people on other forums including reddit making fun of this, and trying to turn it into some sort of meme despite the fact that it was known even back then that CNN manipulated the footage to make it look like trump was the only one that did that, while in reality he was following the steps of the Japanese Prime Minister.

When will the DNC release their 2017 Fake News Award? It'd be interesting to compare and contrast both of them.

Still one of the best, I believe the NBC editor was just trolling at that point.

FACT CHECK: Trump says Clinton "acid washed" her email server. She did not.

Oh, you should have continued reading. Not only do they not offer any links to the original source of the supposed debunked claims for us to read, but they apparently have inside info on the Russia investigation straight from Robert Muller:

11. And last, but not least: "RUSSIA COLLUSION!" Russian collusion is perhaps the greatest hoax perpetrated on the American people. THERE IS NO COLLUSION!

Well there you go, case closed.

How old are you 12? How to claim the hoax if the investigation didnt ended? If it ends and mueller is saying nothing found, than yes. But that didnt happened.

The most embarrassing thing ever done by an American president.

https://mic.com/articles/187454/fact-checking-trumps-fake-news-awards#.Yi0zQzqet

If someone would want to give him an award for any "fake news" or better lie he has stated in the last year, they'd be surely having problems to find the worst ones among such an overwhelming quantity.
