Trump's 'Fake News' Rhetoric Is Going To Get Someone Killed | HuffPost

It kind of works like this...

You just can't call "fake news" on every story you don't like.......kind of like the boy who cried wolf

If Trump thinks it is fake, the burden is on him to say why he believes it is fake and provide any evidence to the contrary

Media must first supply the positive. The constant claim of unnamed sources doesn't fly.

Media has used unnamed sources for over a hundred years. That is how news is generated

This is where reputation come into play. The New York Times has a reputation for high journalistic standards and their stories are thoroughly researched and cross checked. Stories based on unnamed sources are generally confirmed

Now lets compare to the reputation of our President...He is a known source for fake news, his weekly claims of fake news are no longer credible and his penchant for lying is legendary

I don't think the "reputation" they have is what you think it is.
