leftist definition of "fake news" = "anything news that disagrees with our world view"

Fake news is probably the third oldest profession.

But with the concoction of real news, fake news, opinion, entertainment, marketing, and bias we are now down the rabbit hole. News gets frequently whitewashed, ignored, twisted, and mix in the current bias in news reporting it is difficult to decipher the real from the fake, when it confirms your inherent bias.

The Press, the fourth but independent leg of a free government, is required to be both a conveyor of what is good within a government and to be a watchdog when government is bad. I do not know what is worse, a press that is paid for and managed by the Government (RT in Russia for example) or a press that chooses not to be the watchdog, but instead be a sycophant.

Isn't "fake news" just a hipster rewording of what we used to call "misinformation"???

Now, instead of being used to mislead an enemy it's being used to mislead a nation.

Witch hunt But you were all over Bengazi w/no evidence - right? Another double standard.

No evidence of her wrongdoing in Benghazi?

Her state department left Stevens there, long after most other nations had pulled their ambassador

Her state department refused repeated requests from Stevens fpor more security

Every public statement she made blamed a fellow US citizen for Gods sake, and his video (while her private statements said it was terrorism)

No evidence of wrongdoing? You say so...

Flynn has an issue with ethics, no doubt.

And to his point, CNN is an absolute laughing stock. Getting Hilary debate questions ahead of time, producers admitting air that they are making stuff up...
