What Did President Trump Do Now?

Imo, the ease in going viral should be one of the main drivers in maintaining journalistic integrity.

You don't need to lie to make him look like **** though. He's made it reaaaaallly easy to stick to the facts.

I think that if this were any other election, people wouldn't be shelling out fake news to attempt to take down the next president to take office. At least not to this extent. Buzzfeed at the end of the day were really just trying to get under Donald Trump's skin because we all expected it to get to him. The same could be said about Merryl Streep's speech. She said that and purposely didn't say his name because she knew that it would get to him. And guess what? It did.

You purposely left out when I said "at least not to this extent".

I still don't see what you're getting at. I'm not implying it's never been done. But show me in the last 8 years when Obama got upset and threw a tantrum over a report on the internet.

I'm talking about media factions campaigning against the president, not the president's reaction.

Well I don't disagree with that, but that's not my point in the first place. News outlets or "fake news" outlets are putting out stories about Trump because they know it'll get under his skin. He reacts to it every time, and that's at the end of the day what people are hungry for.

I see what you mean now and agree.
