This story is worth reporting and NYT is squeezing it to distract from its own failings. They should not lump all non-mainstream media under the fake news label, when even mainstream media reports fake news - Besides Clinton, Iraq weapons of mass destruction was another example.

This thinking, coupled with reports from the media huddle in Trump Tower today and his statements on libel really make me afraid for the free press in this country.

There is no coherent suggestion.

What he and his cohort is doing is yelling 'Lugenpresse' into every discussion on the topic they can find.

Every news everywhere is labelling fake/lying news everywhere else. Fake news/Lugenpresse same terms different language.

Screaming 'the whole press lies!' and falsely equating it with deliberate fabrications has been done by the far right for 80 years.

Spamming what would be intelligent discussions with such nonsense is a new thing.
