When did the term "Fake News" start? When I try searching for it, I get results saying that Trump started it. But I recall the term being thrown around before he won.
Is there some kinda dis info campaign to relate all negative things with the media back to Trump!?

Around the 2016 election, most of it was anti-Hillary fake news stories, mostly on facebook. Now the internet is filled with pro or anti-Trump fake news for the most part.
It used to just refer to those fake stories posted to Facebook and the like before Trump started throwing it around to describe anything he didn't like.
the liberal media started it, shortly after it blew up in their faces.
>the 'fake news' narrative
I once heard Washington D.C.'s conservative morning talk guy (Chris Plante) say that it was started by the Washington Post.
>before Trump started throwing it around to describe anything he didn't like.
It's like socialism. GOP threw it around so much during the beginning of Obama administration nobody knew what the fuck it even meant anymore.
Obama when he delivered a speech about how you shouldn't trust fake news on Facebook.
Norm macdonald made up the term for his joke news portion on SNL.
Ps norm is very redpilled
Liberals started it. Pretty dumb on their part since conservatives were able to turn it back on them very effectively.
Checked
Fake news started with #Pizzagate. Btw, it should be called #Pedogate as it is by the IC. #PIzzagate became a honeytrap when it hyper-focused on a single pizza joint in D.C.Try any Saudi restaurant in D.C.:

To your point, I'd guess it was the NYT #Pizzagate is fake news story:

First mention I"d heard of it. Subsequent articles seemed to cite this, and this alone (and maybe that Snopes article, too).
They prepped the bull for the U.S. public to fingerpoint with this fake news bullshit. news false flag
Liberals started the term to discredit all of the Pizzagate memes that were running rampant on social media a few weeks prior to the election. Trump commandeered the term and used it to deal the killing blow to the MSM.
Norm macdonald coined the term in the mid 90s
Oy vey there is no disinfo campaign goyim! Trump invented "fake news" because he will literally start anudda shoah. Now go back to being a good goy and insult Trump with every chance you get!
The fake news label was started by the left to discredit online conservative news sources. We banded together and turned the tables and now fake news typically is applied to left and other MSM.
Wasn't it started to discredit Breitbart and Infowars?
It's been used to describe clickbait, and Trump used it to call out CNN and other fake news, then the news started some bullshit about poor slavic kids posting shooped clickbait so people would forget he was refering to them
Obama in 2008

Looks like a shit ton of people looked into pizzagate after the fake news term was coined.
...
My first recollection of it was when Mark Cuckerberg decided that fake news would be censored out on Facebook, that fake news was like the clickbait articles that are obviously fake. Donald Trump made fake news a meme
Immediately after the election, the media all in coordination with each other started reporting on how Hillary lost because people fell for "fake news" that appeared on their kikebook feeds, with suggestions that "Russian hackers" planted these stories deliberately to trick people into voting for Trump. Hillary gave a speech on it, and they used this buzzword as an excuse to try and censor alternative media sites, propping up MSM as the only sources of "real news." There was legislation in circulation to shut these outlets down. It wasn't very difficult for Trump to turn it back on them, and they had to have known, which is why I think they real reason they started this campaign was solely to discredit pizzagate.
This.
...
the liberal media started it to discredit things like wikileaks, brietbart, fox, and pretty much anything they disagreed with or wanted to silence (including pol).
Then because it was so hypocritical, we, and Trump started using it back against them with hilarious results, like Don Lemon freaking out and cutting his guests.
Apparently Jim Acosta of CNN, is such a complete cuck that his own son now comes him fake news. 1000% serious.
They made it up, and then couldn't take it being used on them and went full retard.
iirc it really showed up in the first few days right after trump got elected. They) were using the term to explain how trump somehow stole her election, guess it was the only comprehensible conclusion they could reach
It was directly coined by CNN and New York Times to counter pizzagate. 100%. Trump and affiliates then co-opted the term, to label the entire MSM and specifically CNN, which Trump still uses in Twitter.
For newfags, it was alarming how coordinated the fake news headlines sprouted up, overnight, to battle pizzagate. I believe the trigger was the alleged "shooter" who barnstormed Comet Pizza--the MSM said he'd been hoodwinked by InfoWars, the primary target.
Alex Jones soon faced legal threats and fired Joe Bob Briggs for his pizzagate reporting.
Trump didn't start it. CNN and the like actually did funnily enough, they were trying to force it to discredit Breitbart/Infowars but it was successfully spun against the MSM.
Fake News started as a synonym for "Hoax" or "Rumor Bomb", but thanks to the president, now it means "anything which makes the president look bad."
MSM coined it to refer to internet blogs fabricating stories, but it blew up in their face for obvious reasons, and now they're playing the victim.
Started reading about it on the Drudge Report a few months back. Facebook was interested in blocking it. Supposedly it goes back to how China censors the internet. Maybe Zucky's Chinese wife set it up? Then the mainstream media seized on it and Infowars went on the defensive. Now it's the poo that the left and right fling at each other. Just how I remember this strange story, hope it helps.
It's like people have never heard of Yellow Journalism before
>Most of it was anti hillary
Shill.
Actually it started when pizzagate broke, there was massive media collision to break that narrative which came to a point in the term "fake news"
Trump flipped it on CNN by calling them fake news during an important speech (forget which) which for them was the beginning of the end.
Pizzagate
Colbert, WaPo, NYT, Huffpo all covered a fringe Sup Forums conspiracy that was actually real and all referred to pizzagate as fake news.
the MSM started it after people were spreading links to breitbart and other right wing or independent news sources instead of their propaganda, which cost hillary the election
how their little buzz term got turned back around on them and made them right articles declaring it tainted has been one of the most enjoyable things for me since october
The cnn pizzagate coverage coined the term as it was the only way they could report on it, and they couldnt ignore it after it got tied to clinton/podesta/spiritcooking, they had to cover it in that context or hurt clinton.
*write articles
>Yellow Journalism
I believe the correct term is Asian Journalism
Careful you will trigger our lefty friends.
i think there is an appreciable difference in time. 'fake news' started up a good half month prior to pizza gate, even if its not by much. if the current term's usage was started by right wingers against the msm then i think it's plenty to make them go berserk with the term and try to appropriate it
I think user is asking about the obsession with labeling articles "fake news", I myself don't remember hearing it a year ago.
trends.google.com
"Fake News" looks like it appeared a full week and a half before Pizzagate hit.
Well the most prestigious awards for journalism awarded in our day are named after the most notorious pushers of Yellow Journalists of the 19th century. Its almost like the industry isn't designed to promote the truth.
Golden, thanks

>Facebook, Twitter join network to tackle fake news
>Facebook Inc and Twitter Inc have joined a network of over 30 news and technology companies to tackle fake news and improve the quality of information on social media, the group said on Tuesday.
>First Draft Coalition, formed in June 2015 with the backing of Alphabet Inc's Google, said it would create a voluntary code of practice, promote news literacy among social media users, and launch a platform where members can verify questionable news stories.
...
>Members of the group include the New York Times, Washington Post, BuzzFeed News, Agence France-Presse and CNN.
hmm...
This was September 2016, I don't know when Trump first said it
Jon Liebowitz Stewart was once proud to call his Daily Show a fake news show
wrong.
the left grabbed the term and started using it in the mainstream media, which is why it grew so quickly. it was originally used to describe the msm. the """"""""official"""""" usage began with trump to describe the msm, THEN the msm picked it up for themselves
Dinosaur media hoped to use it to dismiss all new media, it backfired.
>>Members of the group include the New York Times, Washington Post, BuzzFeed News, Agence France-Presse and CNN.
So basically their standard of what's fake is: Would we print it/say it.
If yes, then it's fake.
no it didnt
the initial fake news was something to do with pizzagate i beleive
"Fake news" seems to be a term that brings out the shills in force.
Suck shit, you nerd virgins! "Fake news" has been so successfully turned against the media that it now brings to mind CNN and the other MSM shills in the plebeians' minds.
Wrong, it started with the MSM with Pizzagate your fucking cretin.
Would you believe Trump said the word "dingleberry" first if he told you that?
It was started by some college professor to list all conservative news outlets as Russian propaganda sites (breitbart, gateway pundant, Infowars etc.). It was a compiled list called "fake news". So we hijacked the term and used it against the real "fake news", CNN and the like.

>China says to crackdown on fake news from social media
July 3, 2016
no, i was on the ron paul train in 2012 so ive been aware of their tricks for a while; i remember being excited that they were finally being called out on being fake although i can't remember who said it first. it definitely wasnt the msm though
This.
yeah it was indefinitely made famous by MSM tho

>OBAMA: INTERNET NEWS NEEDS TO BE "CURATED"
October 16, 2016
no
yeah, for the normalfags. that's not source of the recent coining of the term though
It started when the media tried to say that all the stuff we were saying was "fake news"
then we turned it on them
happened about 2 months before the end of the election
the way i remember it is "fake news" was being cited as a reason for trump's popularity
the left said fake anti-clinton/obama articles were being spread around and that russia was involved with it too
then trump turned the entire thing around by saying cnn is fake news
now the left use it ironically to mock trump forgetting that they used it first
Tweets of fake news before November 2016 seem to use the term "fake" as an proper adjective and not a collective "fake news" phrase.
> twitter.com
Now, it blows up in the media during November:

Then the pizza gate hit piece a few days later:
> nytimes.com
So it seems the term exploded right after Trump won, liberals were trying to explain why they lost and the only rationale was that voters were tricked by fake news.
No you dingus lol.
Fun fact: "false news" is illegal in Canada under the Criminal Code.
laws-lois.justice.gc.ca
>Spreading false news
>181 Every one who wilfully publishes a statement, tale or news that he knows is false and that causes or is likely to cause injury or mischief to a public interest is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years.
MSM started "fake news" to fight pizzagate.
Trump took "fake news" label and slapped it on CNN sweaty kike forehead.
I believe it was in Trumps first week
CNN, Huffington Post, NY Times and other mainstream news (not sure about Fox) started it.
I watched the election very closely and I was reading news about Trump and Hillary every day.
It was actually a brilliant move by the liberal media.
The VERY second they realized Trump was going to win (despite their best efforts to brainwash everyone against him by faking polls and hiring celebrities to tell us to vote for Hillary) they started talking about fake news and immediately pointing to Breitbart and Info Wars and conservative news articles spread on Facebook.
This is because, they knew that once all the millenials heard Trump won they would realize that they were blind sided and would wonder wtf happened with all the polls and all the analysts saying that Trump had a snowball's chance to win
So literally the next day after Trump won they started pushing the agenda that republican/conservative "fake news" tricked the ignorant masses into voting for Trump
It really was a genius move, they saw what was going to happen and they immediately pointed the spotlight away from them and were the first to start pointing fingers
So not only did they delay the backlash they're experiencing now they stacked their cards in their favor so that when people started to realize they were tricked it wasn't as obvious as it would have been had they not done that
tl;dr liberal news made the term "fake news" immediately after Trump won the election and used conservatives/republicans as a scapegoat
Where did the newer meme "alternative facts" come from? I see all over kikebook
this
conway said it on tv and everyone flipped out
not very graceful desu
Kellyanne Conway remarked that some people clearly have "alternative facts" on some news show and people freaked out over it
this 100%
Dis info? Unlikely. I think most people just forgot that news became fake news, and people just complied with it.
the MSM started it. A few weeks after the election they started trying to say Trump won because of "fake news". Basically implying that Trump voters were massively misinformed because the media was too embarrassed to admit how btfo they got. Then a bunch of politicians in the US and even Europe started politicizing it and using it as a thinly veiled attack on independent or right wing news. Facebook and Google jumped on board and said they were going to censor fake news. At this point it became abundantly clear that the term was invented in order to smear and sufficate right wing news sources such as Breitbart, Infowars and Drudge. Washington Post published a list of probably over 100 websites and labeled them "Fake News". They provided no context and didn't say where the list came from. Probably the CIA desu.
By now there was a whole national conversation about fake news. Reading between the lines it was really a fight over whether or not we were going to start censoring independent media. At some point Trump shitposted the term on Twitter and commandeered the term for us. Then people like Alex Jones spun it around and reversed the narrative so that fake news now meant the MSM. Basically meaning that the MSM is a bunch of slimy, hysterical, controlled, spin artists.
Liberals started crying on reddit and Twitter and shit that the "alt right stole the term". Eventually Washington Post published an article saying that the phrase "fake news" should be retired because it's being used wrong. They're all just salty because the public didn't buy their bullshit newspeak term meant to trick is into self censoring and instead Trump stole it for us to use against them. Now they pretend like Trump invented the term because they want to say he's "attacking the free press" even though they're the ones that actually invented the term for that exact purpose.
Honestly the whole thing is pretty damn funny. The libshit media can't help but constantly btfo itself
This is quite true and a good chronology. Thanks for telling the truth amidst all the shills, user.
>polls being obnoxiously inaccurate
>'hey rabbi watcha doin?' news pieces
were these not being called out by anyone? or am i really just delusional?
This. Fry tits speaks truth.
PSYOP term coinex by the luberal media in 2016 to discredit anti-Hillary and pro-Trump and conspiracy stories appearing outside the MSM.
Backfired spectacularly and started being used by Trump as an insult/brand to use on the MSM.
Finally used ironically by liberals to discredit or parody Trump's own accusations of their being fake.
this
(((liberal media))) started it to try and discredit pizzagate. didnt work out so good for (((them))).
it was the first president elect press conference back in late december. Golden shower fake news scandal with buzzfeed coalescing with CNN to make the report national news.
Are you living under a rock?
Alternative Facts was invented by Kellyanne Conway when Sean Spicer lied about Donald's inauguration details and she attempted to defend Spicer.
Shortly thereafter, the sales of George Orwell's 1984 shot up 9500%.
This.
>pizzagate deadmeme
nice counter-signal, kike
Also lots of fake news covering up the fact that Portland, Oregon has nuclear weapons.
It was a term used by (((the press))) to label anything that goes against their """"factual and real"""" narratives (aka lies). Basically, (((press))) tried to meme it, but it backfired. The term got co-opted and and repurposed to essentially call (((press))) lying Jews. Also synonymous to lugenpresse or lying press, although the former is used more often as it has Nazi connotations and causes maximum triggering (since (((press))) is controlled by Jews).
Always best to use both terms as often as possible, whenever possible, wherever possible, to make (((press))) and lies synonymous.
Kill yourself
Zuckerberg coined it
dont you have a pony to be fucking, cianigger?
This is the true anwser.
The sky is blue is an alternative fact to the grass is green
This is not the meaning of the term. Stop, kike.
> Sean Spicer lied about Donald's inauguration details and she attempted to defend Spicer.
Pizzagate doesn't refer to comet pizza. It refers to the euphemistic use of the word pizza to refer to kiddy pr0n.
Aside from that tiny rebuttal, you're right tho.
Itnstarted as a reaction to people gettinf their new from fb and shit around the time of pizzagate.. than trump used it on the msm and his fans got raging boners.. life was never the same after that.
...
It started when online polls showed Trump winning but were discredited because they were not "scientific polling" also stuff like the wiki leaks and pizza gate were called fake news, trump popularized the term
wrong. that's what they want you to think.
liberal news first used and popularized it and trump started using it as well to try and combat them and then the liberal news took this as an opportunity to float the narrative that Trump made the term.
I didn't say anything that contradicts what you said
