Who started fake news?

Who started fake news?
I could have sworn it was the left during the election but my friends seem convinced Trump started it.

fake news started as soon as pizzagate

...

CNN started moaning about fake news from russia but it quickly got culturally appropriated when Trump called THEM fake news to their faces.

Yes the left absolutely started It. I remember think how stupid of a term it was. And then trump started calling msm fake news in response

Fox "News" was around before trump was dictator.

Mandela effect?

that's legitimately sort of disturbing. I know literally nothing about pizzagate

Jewish blood libel

...

Trump has robbed and raped a lot of people. He calls his accusers fake. We call Trump a scumbag asshole that should be put away.

Ok, quote them.

the jews.
creators of fake news, theater, cinema, war theaters, all of it.

It started out as describing completely fake made up stories that sound plausible designed to look like they came from credible sources. For example I remember Obama saying the term "Christian terrorists", but then he said "I would never use the term Christian terrorist so I would never use the term Islamic terrorist". I was remember a fake news story.

Then liberal leaning sites started calling Breitbart fake news, then pretty much all right leaning sites including Fox News, then the term was turned back onto the liberal MSM.

look at this absolutely clueless shill

>implying that correlation = causation

Just some more (((coincidences))).

That's some good pepe

Remember "ProporNot"...
Launched by a obscure US academic claiming some websites and news sources were either kremlin controlled or "useful idiots"... Spreading fake news.

The List

An Initial Set of Sites That Reliably Echo Russian Propaganda

We have used a combination of manual and automated analysis, including analysis of content, timing, technical indicators, and other reporting, in order to initially identify (“red-flag”) the following as Russian propaganda outlets. We then confirmed our initial assessment by applying whatever criteria we did not originally employ during the red-flag process, and we reevaluate our findings as needed.

We assess that this overall Russian effort is at least semi-centralized, with multiple Russian projects and influence operations working in parallel to manage the direct and outsourced production of propaganda across a wide range of outlets. It is data-driven, and rewards effective entrepreneurship and innovation with increased funding and other resources.
There are varying degrees of involvement in it, and awareness of involvement. Some people involved seem genuinely unaware that their outlets are being used by Russia as conduits for propaganda.

When an outlet establishes a pattern of behavior, by consistently, uncritically, and one-sidedly echoing, repeating, being used by, and redirecting their audiences to Russian official and semi-official state media, it is in an important sense irrelevant whether they are a paid Russian proxy, an honest true believer, or commercially opportunistic.
The outcomes of serving strategically deceptive narratives to the American public are the same.
We usually cannot know the motivations of the people involved in spreading Russian disinformation.
While some investigative reporting has given us a strong idea of these motivations, motivations are ultimately less important to us than behavior. Both because we focus on outlets (websites, YouTube channels, social media accounts, etc.) rather than individuals, and because we focus on behaviors, we do not accuse individuals of deliberate wrongdoing or lawbreaking.

The first time I ever heard the words fake news used by the legacy media was when pizzagate dropped, so you know it's real.

It was pizzagate. That's why I know it's true because normally the media ignores "conspiracy theories ". this one came a little too close to home. Pizzagate is real.

This
If it's fake than why even talk about it hmmmm?

>not fact checking where fake news comes from at hillaryclinton.com

It was the left. I remember the media started obsessing about how we needed to "tackle fake news" and it became a huge news story for some reason. I remember thinking it all seemed quite weird and spontaneous. Trump must have heard about it and used the phrase to his own ends.

This 100% i recall it very clearly.

It was started by the mainstream (leftist) media and Trump turned it around on their asses.

They are still embarrassed about it.

Buzzfeed was involved in it, shockingly

Never forget

>tfw there will never be another press conference where Trump says
>excuse me
>excuse me
>no
>excuse me
>I'm not giving you a question
>I'm giving her the question
>excuse me
>no
>go ahead darling
>excuse me
>don't be rude
>don't... be rude
>no, you're fake news

Except that exactly what happened. Pizzagate was blowing up, MSM started using fake news as a blanket term, Trump turned it around on them so effectively retards like you cant even remember the series of events. Now go kys

>When my enemies use my slogan it suddenly is empty and deeply troubling.

I fucking hate leftist man.

Especially leftist kikes

they had weapons of mass distraction

Orwell was right on with the idea of the memory hole.

new semester, fresh meat

lul, it's literally all they have.
You lads see that now Schiff is writing his OWN memo just to contradict Nunes? hahaha i swear

>Hi John, The realtor found a handkerchief (I think it has a map that seems pizza-related. Is it yorus? They can send it if you want. I know you're busy, so feel free not to respond if it's not yours or you don't want it.

You missed the rabbit hole user. (((They))) have made it very hard to see the things we all saw in those early days. But the breadcrumbs that started it all are still there, in Podesta's emails.

...

As far as the election season, it was New York Times in an article about "the alt right" and it was followed up days later with their pizzagate hit piece.

Remember when Napoleon won Waterloo?

i remember first hearing it on NPR constantly after MUH RUSSIAN BOTS SPAMMED FAGBOOK WITH PROPAGANDA IN TRUMPS FAVOR IT WAS HER TURN

This.
Turns out it was part of a plan to use net neutrality to shut down "right wing" sites as "fake news" to get isps to close the sites the way Facebook and Google are cracking down now.
Then trump snatched the term and turned it on them. The machine was going and so they carried on using it despite him, but he ducked them royaly. Once net neutrals killed they stopped using it as much because the original plan was lost.

Google did when they used adsense to coerce people to add content to the internet that their search index was browsing.

people figured out how to abuse adsense for clickbait and the ball has only been rolling since.

do you think the people making fake new are going to tell you the truth now?

tabloids decades ago
with ad revenue being dependent on total clicks/views, low effort sensational shit because the only way to compete. that's not including willfully fraudulent or biased, which is all state funded

it started with gawker and nobody ever recovered

Hitler was right again.

fpbp. the root of all things fake news.

there's also content aggregating sites where you can make a fortune by not doing anythng at all and just fishing the internet for things to repost. 0% effort in and plenty of money out. the internet has gone to shit.

Hillary was the first to say fake news during the election. Trump stole it and ran with it. Hillary is really really smart you know.

The term was actually introduced by the media roughly 2 weeks before the election. The pizzagate fiasco, which came a little bit later if I recall correctly, is what made the media start using the term like currency.

It was only when Trump pointed at Jim Acosta and said, "YOU are fake news" (and Trump's base loved it) that Trump started adopting it himself.

You recall wrong.

Yeah that's not accurate recall whatsoever

The way I remember it pizzagate was blowing up and the media started calling it fake news,then Clinton started saying how dangerous fake news articles are.

Pizzagate was real ,when have the media ever been so desperate to discredited a “conspiracy theory” ?

Most important point being, it all happened BEFORE the election, not after

It was part of the cage rattling to let them know regime change was coming. A lot of people have been waiting a very long time to have something done about the kind of people who worry about napkins with pizza-related maps on them.

>"who started fake news?"
Who keeps it going?

>i-it's just a cohencidence, goy! pizzagate was fake news!

Goddammit how is norm ALWAYS so far ahead of the curve? I learned bout cuck being the next big thing from Norm.

Okay Sup Forums. THIS KS THE REAL STORY.

Craig Silverman of Buzzfeed started the term fake news.

His article into bots on social media is what did it. What's funny is that buzzfeed is literally spreading fake news abo it their own employee. Silverman "owns" up to the term fake news. He has it in his Twitter Bio and still writes articles on it in the spirit of his first one.

The initial article was picked up by CNN and mocked ever since by our president.

Where can I get a rundown from a Sup Forums source about the entire pizzagate? I missed it completely

The left has been calling Fox News "Faux News" since it started, in what the late nineties? Faux is French for fake by the way.

It was Obama.

>he knows french
