The manufactured "fake news" narrative is a power grab by HRC and salty liberal losers to attempt to censor the internet, while at the same time bolstering and empowering right-wing distrust of the mainstream media. They should refer to the first amendment.

Not quite. But there does seem to be something interesting about the sudden concern of "fake news" and who is most concerned about it. IMO, it's a way for the current media conglomerate's to get some kind of de jure instead of de facto status over more independent observers.

You can see this in action when you look at the white house press corp. While technically everyone is "allowed" to ask the President questions, only a select few will be given the opportunity. Preferential Access = money and media will do anything they can to keep that access, including passing carefully worded "policies" that preserve their status and exclude those that are deemed "fake."
