The Highly-Anticipated 2017 Fake NewsAwardsTEAM GOP (/AUTHOR/TEAM-GOP) MEDIA (/TOPIC/WHITE-HOUSE-MEDIA/) - January 17, 2018

2017 was a year of unrelenting bias, unfair news coverage, and even downright fake

news. Studies have shown that over 90% of the media’s coverage of President Trump

is negative.

Below are the winners of the 2017 Fake News Awards.

1. The New York Times’ Paul Krugman claimed on the day of President Trump’s

historic, landslide victory that the economy would never recover.

2. ABC News' Brian Ross CHOKES and sends markets in a downward spiral with false

report.

President Trump’s claim that he was told he is not under investigation.

10. The New York Times FALSELY claimed on the front page that the Trump

administration had hidden a climate report.

(via WashingtonPost.com)

11. And last, but not least: "RUSSIA COLLUSION!" Russian collusion is perhaps the

greatest hoax perpetrated on the American people. THERE IS NO COLLUSION!

Well, now that collusion with Russia is proving to be a total hoax and the only collusion is with Hillary Clinton and the FBI/Russia, the Fake News Media (Mainstream) and this phony new book are hitting out at every new front imaginable. They should try winning an election. Sad!9:32 AM - Jan 5, 2018
