Fake news isn't sensational news or news that you disagree with or any mainstream media news source.

Fake news is news that is deliberately obviously false just to get mostly low information trump supporters to share it on facebook/twitter.

This is true because they were talking to one of the guy who writes these fake stories and he is a 100% Hillary Supporter and he talked about his motivation - that he could write the stupidest stuff and get the trump supporters to believe it.

But of course its near impossible to do irony in writing unless it's so obvious, some people might get it, most do not. So it sorta had the opposite effect. Oooops.

Satirizing Conservative values has a rich history in USA. In 1962 a new Conservative society started to grow called:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Society_for_Indecency_to_Naked_Animals

They boasted Membership of 50k and made appearances on Walter Cronkite saying the ills of society were because Animals were walking around naked. Shocking

The whole thing was revealed as a hoax when time Magazine did some research into them.

The New York Times is trying to claim that Trump "walked back his claim that the 2005 tax returns were legitimate by tweeting that it was 'fake news'"

Hoo boy, NYT, you're morons. Trump tweeted that claiming some unknown journalist woke up to the 2005 tax returns in his mailbox, totally anonymous, no leaks being received in a shady manner, was fake news. Not the tax return itself.

Incompetent reporting just makes me facepalm. CNN, MSNBC, and the NYT have done more to harm the left than the right ever could.

Let's use this example as proof all mainstream media is fake news! That'll please our leader.

you sound like one of these low information voters you're talking about

I have yet to see an MSM "news" report about the Trump admin that isn't either blatantly false or posited upon a false premise. If you have seen any outside of Fox News, please share.

I'm growing weary of sifting through bullshit every time I open a news site. Would love to see a reporter or two who I can subscribe to.

Virtually none of them are blatantly false or posited upon a false premise, no idea what you're reading.

uh uh uh, the pope was pretty clear about fake news
