Republicans own the "fake news" that Trump rails against.


Most people don’t know that.

The next time somebody cries fake news the question should be asked why would Republicans plant fake news when they own almost all broadcast media—like 99%?

Call it what it is: The Republican Owned Media.

So when Republican supporters cry “fake media” they need to hear that they then are the fakers because they own the broadcast media.

The phrase “Republican Owned Media” can’t be said too often.
