    It wasn't a thing worth defining until the liberal media decided it was a thing worth defining.

    And you lapped it up like a hungry kitten.

    This is what you said "the term fake news was created specifically in the past year" not "I said it wasn't a thing worthy of getting its own definition".
    "Fake News" was absolutely a term that was used long before the last election. Just because someone made a Fake News Website wiki page does not mean that is when the term came into being.

    Anyway a few key notes from that wiki page.

    The New York Times noted in a December 2016 article that fake news had previously maintained a presence on the Internet and in tabloid journalism in the years prior to the 2016 U.S. election.

    Prior to the invention of the Internet, unethical news spread in printed media for hundreds of years before the existence of web sites.

    According to USA Today, newspapers which have a history of commonly publishing fake news have included Globe, Weekly World News, and The National Enquirer.

    Brazil faced increasing influence from fake news after the 2014 re-election of President Dilma Rousseff

    In 2015, BBC News reported on fake stories, using unrelated photographs and fraudulent captions, shared online in support of the Rohingya.

    The only difference between now and previously is the medium that is used for the spread of propaganda. Like all old things, there are inevitably snobs who criticize the new school. Why look at a screen when you can hold a dirty piece of paper? At least the previous generation digested their propaganda with class.

    Yeah as soon as the polls opened, the MSM was already speculating that Hillary was at 268 electoral votes and pushed that throughout the day....then late in the day the Republicans got out of work and went to the polls...

    If anyone cares I guess he swamped Schwarzenegger in Apprentice show ratings. I guess a guy has to have priorities.

    Podesta email password was the word "password" lol

    The racist remarks, collusion with mainstream media and other unethical tactics, that threw Bernie Sanders campaign, revealed in the Podesta emails are disregarded by the same media and Clinton supporters in the name of "intelligence community" and "Russian Hackers." Zero accountability from main stream media and the government officials who wrote these emails, but must hold Russian hackers accountable.

    The Obama legacy is certainly astounding and major step backwards especially over the last 2-3 years.

    1) Iran nuclear deal - Ask one nation how they feel about the Iran Nuke deal, Israel. Obama sent at least $1.3B dollars in cash in the middle of the night, lifted sanctions that were in place for decades, and furthered Iran's ability to procure a nuclear weapon. Iran has already violated several terms of the agreement without penalty or punishment. Iran supports many terrorist organizations at war with the United States. Iran is currently occupying and taking control of Iraq.

    2) Anti Police sentiment- Refuses to condemn anti cop sentiment coming from groups like Black Lives Matter. The most cops have been killed in the line of duty in 2016 than in the last 5 years. Fails to balance the concerns of the black community and the concerns of the police community. With the main stream media fueled the flames of hate, inviting Black Lives Matter to the White House, but failing to light the White House blue for slain officers in Dallas.

    3) Mass shootings up over 700% since Obama Administration

    4) Radical Islam. Will not name or address the term radical islam. Refuses to acknowledge the San Bernardino, Orlando night club shooting, or New York and New Jersey bombings as radical Islamic fueled attacks. Even though each of the attackers was Islamic and had either declared allegiance to Islamic terrorist groups or maintained radical Islamic ideology.

    5) Reduced the military - Military spending is down, military jobs have been cut, and military equipment is aging. Most importantly military readiness is down. There is less money for training exercises to properly prepare military personnel for deployments.

    6) Failed policy in the Middle East - Instability in Iraq since American troop withdrawal. Creation of ISIS since American withdrawal from Iraq. Instability in Libya since USA led overthrowing of Gaddafi. Instability in Turkey playing side with both Kurdish forces and Turkey, leaving both in greater conflict. Possible involvement in failed coup in Turkey. Turkey still holds USA nuclear weapons. Complete failed policy in supporting Syrian rebels. Directly involved in the arms dealing and hundreds of thousands of lost lives in Syria.

    7) Secretly accepting Syrian Refugees - Every state has received a Syrian refugee accept Alaska, Alabama, Delaware, Arkansas, D.C., Hawaii, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, and West Virginia. There are several cases where local officials stated that they were never told of the resettlement of refugees, that refugees were not vetted and that they don't know who these refugees are. 98% of all resettled refugees are Sunni Muslim.

    8) Failed Pacific policy - Complete breakdown of alliance with Philippines. Allowance of Chinese militarized artificial islands and landing strips. Increased testing of North Korean missiles. Increase trade deficit with China. Failure to prevent Chinese hacking on USA.

    9) Thousands of Green Cards Issued erroneously

    10) Obama the apologist for history of American "mistakes". Apologizes multiple times for 'America' throughout his presidency. Also, calls Americans lazy.

    11) Release of Guantanamo Bay detainees. Even Obama's administration admits that at least 12 of the released detainees "have launched attacks against the U.S. or allied forces in Afghanistan, killing about a half-dozen Americans." An estimated 30% of the released detainees have returned to terrorism.

    There is no surprise in the rise in Liberal sentiment either.

    Liberal professors outnumber conservatives 28-to-1 in region known for Ivy League

    I have no problem with the man showing respect to other countries and their traditions but it is undeniable the United States has become weaker in his 2 terms. No backbone whatsoever.

    While bowing remains the custom in Japan, handshakes are the norm in China today (the heavy-handed sarcasm was awesome though - good job).

    You do realize that bowing is an accepted form of greeting and respect in Japanese culture right?

    I just missed the pictures where their leaders bowed back. Chief to Chief. Nobody bows better than Obama. Looking forward to watching him bow out on the 20th.
