Fake news is composed of more than just one person Tweeting. Fake news uses its position as a multitude to tamper in the opposite direction. You don't think Trump hating, by CNN does not intimidate some jurors?
Trump is one person fighting the Democrat lynch mob. Most people can do the math and see the balance. This topic is about David versus Goliath, with Goliath complaining that David needs to use only one arm, sine he kicks butt with two. I hope the older black citizens remember when they were in Trump's shoes, at the hands of the Democratic party KKK. If a black did well for himself, in the Democrat south, they would be singled out, intimidated, and even destroyed, if they did not stop. The old Democrat play book is still being used. We need a book burning.
The question raised is, is fake news an illegal campaign donation? Normally candidates and political parties need to pay for mud slinging out of their campaign contributions. Is biased fake news a way to money launder campaign funds, that would otherwise violate campaign laws?
If you think of it logically, most of a campaign's funds will be spent on some form of media. So is "free" media time really a guise for a hidden donation that would violate election laws, if it was done in the open?
How much would it cost; market price, to rent CNN for 8 hours straight in one day to run a continuous negative campaign add?
A 30 second add costs about $10,000 on CNN, so the answer is $9.6 Million. Is this legal or a loophole?
One way to determine the difference between news and campaign propaganda is look back one year to see if the so-called "news" panned out or was nothing but wishful thinking and/or propaganda programming, like a campaign add one would normally buy. If it was nothing but hype, based on water under the bridge, it was propaganda and needs to be reported as a contribution.
Now extrapolate that with Fox News, Sinclair, InfoWars, NewsMax, Breitbart, Daily Caller, Townhall, etc.
