Fake News: The President

President has brought the term of "fake news" into the light even more than it previously was. He is known for claiming that CNN is notorious for fake news, which I discussed in my previous blog. HE has commented and twetted on the fact the CNN is about fake news.

This is an example of how far this has gone. CNN and trump have a feud that is centered around fake news. Some people question if fake news is a term that is a new fad surrounding the news. It is no secret that the media has been harder on President Trump than it has been on any other president. 
Is this because of fake news? Does the lack of credibility of news confuse people into not knowing what to believe?
It seems that Trump blames the majority of the negative stigma on fake news surrounding his presidency.

What do you think. Is president Trump accurate on his tweets or is he trying to cover up his shortcomings by using the term fake news?

It seems innocent, or even helpful. Twitter is just assisting me in the setup process of its site. I come across this section titled politics. It gives me the option to follow CNN, Huffington Post, and Fox news. I realized in this moment that this is the most simple form of mass medias role in politics. Twitter is mass media and it is showing us what political pages we should follow. This is how most people get their news about politics. Three sources is barely enough to get the full story about politics, and who is to say that people follow al three of these sources or any of them... Again this is not a post about current news involving mass media in politics. This is just something that ...
