the left invented fake news...and deemed(s) it perfectly acceptable as long as it furthered(s) their cause....if it hampers their cause...it's the worst thing to be foisted on mankind.....silly leftists
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.

CNN is going down the drain much like the Democratic party
can the witch hunt end now?

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Which is relevant . . . how?
Supports a Stateless society
What he means by the State may well be different than what you mean by it. He is by no means anti-society. He doesn't support the power of the State as it has evolved in its present form of massive top-down power over individuals. Most libertarians do not support Statism.
Supports the Voice of men a strongly antifeminist and frequently accuses feminists of being misandrist in their mindset. another 1st
What do you mean by "feminist"? Most women don't consider themselves feminists. The number that actually do has dwindled. He is not anti-women. He is married. Claims to love women. And doesn't consider them as unequal. He actually believes women have the power to make society more peaceful and productive by their choices in whom they marry and have children by.

I posted an articulate, intelligent, insightful person's opinion. It didn't occur to me to check out his credentials before I heard what he has to say. I think what he said was correct. I didn't hear anything that I considered lies. He was pointing out the bigger picture (I know you like to refer to the big picture) of what is actually fake in the "news."
Your Wikipedia bio of him was limited and not totally unbiased. There are, however, more scathing bios of him on the net. And also more positive and inclusive ones. None of them add to or detract from the video I posted. For me, in respect to the video, they are irrelevant. I don't agree with everything Molyneux says (and I have watched several videos), and don't have strong opinions about him as a person. But I find his opinions and interviews interesting and informative. And, even more, an alternative to the warmed over intellectually limited version of the main stream news, which, to me, has a lot of fakeness.
His credentials as a "mere" blogger are far more impressive than you imply. But, if a narrow, slanted description of the messenger is the important message for you, rather than the message itself, I understand how that works.
I like this little item by him:

Nor did I. I checked them( credentials ) before I heard what he said I checked them after ... And it was insightful to why he said what he said... I am curious did you come across him on the web or thru an email ? I call these feeder clips sent out by like minded people who's
