Theres so many legitimately outrageous examples of journalistic malfeasance over the past year, enough to make quite a show of it, yet I'm quite sure Donald's team (sigh, probably mostly Donald micromanaging) will somehow fuck it up anyway
There's definitely examples, although Trump and company have cried wolf so many times on well sourced stories, where often times Trump a day or two later will unintentionally confirm the accuracy, that no one outside the cult takes it seriously anymore(if ever). Luckily his base was already dumb enough to accept Fox News as gospel, so they'll obediently nod along as Trump claims any negative poll on him is fake news.
It's too bad, because it's important to hold journalists to a high standard, but the fake news label isn't about that. It's just a propaganda tool.
