I'm sorry, this is utter nonsense OP. You know Fox news has for decades been measured and determined to be the most fake news channel.
Breitbart exists as basically a fake news company. They have explicitly stated in leaked documents and emails that their purpose is to generate fake news stories.
Yes, as your list demonstrates, there is misinformation on all sides. But to state that all fake news is the product of non-Trumpian sources is utterly ridiculous.

So the Right have never posted any fake news?
That is about as believable as my nephew thinking Santa lefts him a load of gifts yesterday.
He is 6, so what is your excuse for believing in fantasies OP

Not what I was getting at. But from the way you attacked me is a perfect example of what I was getting at.

When is enough enough?
What the hell are you or anyone else going to do? The only thing you can do is vote with your webhits or TV views.
Your thread is just another in a long list of threads that bring up the same point, over and over, yet I have not seen any solutions to the problem, except to go full-on authoritarian and only allow freedom of the press to those you and others agree with.
The problem, in my opinion, is not fake news.
The problem is people are too stupid to smell bull# when they see it, do not give a damn about verifiable facts and will lap-up anything that fits their confirmation bias.
That goes for both sides. So your thread is just proof that you are pushing a narrative against the Left and not really concerned about people being well-informed.

First of all, the media collusion with the DNC/Shillary and the Obama administration is something which has been happening, but in the case of President Trump they are all fake stories...
BTW, are you talking about the story in which Bill O’Reilly mentions "Obama's emotional attachment to Islam" in which a photo from the 1990s is shown with Obama wearing a Muslim garb?...
Photo of Obama in Muslim garb shows deep ties to faith, O'Reilly says
Who is to forget the fact that it was under the Obama administration in which the words "radical Islam" were banned and taken off official/police reports mentioning "RADICAL ISLAMIST Attacks"?...
Obama’s scrub of Muslim terms under question; common links in attacks
Then there was the DHS report, under the Obama administration, which called for rejecting the terms "jihad" and "Sharia" in programs aimed at countering terrorist radicalization among American youth.
Homeland Security Advisory Council Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) Subcommittee
Are you talking about that?...
Then, what about when Obama's White House Deputy Press Secretary Josh Earnest was asked "With people being killed, Christians in particular being targeted, churches being destroyed, what's the President's red line in Egypt?" What was his answer?... To make a joke..."Well, I didn't bring my red pen out with me today." As if people being targeted, killed and their churches being destroyed were grounds to make a joke about it...
Obama Admin Criticized for Joke over Christians Attacked in Egypt
Then there was the Veteran’s administration in Salem, Virginia under the Obama administration, in which they tried banning Christmas trees, using the words "Merry Christmas" and also banning Christmas music from public areas. Which only after a huge backlash against this was it stopped.
After heated debate, Salem VA Medical Center allows Christmas tree after all
Or what about the increased calls, under the Obama administration, to ban Christian crosses in public areas, universities etc? That's meanwhile students of other religions, like Islam, were and still are being allowed to use religious garb in public areas. Yes, I do know that in some public places before the Obama administration liberals also did the same thing, but it took a spike increasing more during the "Obama era".
But again, you are going to claim all of this is false, despite the fact that all of the above and more did occur...

All your doing is making excuses up for why your side is right, but dont stop its easier to figure out who lives in a fantasy world and who lives in the present.
What a tool

Here's what the Russian ads looked like:

Do you think these are pro-Hillary, anti-Hillary, pro-Trump, or anti-Trump?

Hillary isn't a politician anymore.
Also, if this is all a "partisan witch hunt" why are you, the Republicans, and the GOP screaming and freaking out about Muller's investigation so badly?
I mean, if everyone's hands are clean, what's the big deal?
Oh that's right...Muller's investigation has two people indicted already...
