Chris Cillizza used to write for the Washington Post, now he works for CNN. Yesterday while responding to a Trump tweet, he defiantly claimed there is no fake news. He probably wasn’t prepared for the response he got.
Here’s his original tweet:
Name a story that is "fake" or "incorrect."
You can't just make a blanket assertion without ANY specifics. https://t.co/tpJ2VLmf4r

Uh, gee. Lemme think. You just spent 12 months reporting on him being under investigation when he wasn't. Oh yeah, the piss dossier, too.

Then there was the time you said the MLK bust had been removed from the oval office and it hadn't.
— Mr. Hand (@Gray__Dreams) June 13, 2017
Oh, then there was the "rash" of "hate crimes" committed after the election you guys reported on that turned out to be fake/unsubstantiated.

(1) You predicted Trump's foreign trip would be a disaster. It wasn't. https://t.co/5xnO2lsOc0

Remember when @CNN reported Comey would testify he never told @realDonaldTrump he wasn't under investigation?https://t.co/OoVmDkSAak
