No, we don't agree. The original poster lied when he called it "fake news." It may not have been exciting news, but it was an actual event. By definition, that isn't fake news.

Labeling it as such is a lie.

The trumpian allegation of "fake news" implies that the story is false. It is not. The allegation, however, is false. The original poster asserted a lie, when in fact the lie was his own. Irony.

Falsely transcribing atc communications and airing it it with confidence with no respect for your audience members' intelligence is FAKE news. CNN is a fraud.

No, it's poor reporting and poor investigative journalism.

The original poster's lie was intentional. The irony that the liar attempts to transfer his label to another when in fact his post is the only "fake."
