I can name several fake news organizations, that if they were to go out of business, would go a long way toward ending fake news! Starting with the washington post! Others include msnbc, cnn, nbc, politico, nyt, more!

Or does the Washington Post just never come to the table with good News, coverage and information to the people ,almost every story is false ,I'm used to it and the people make the call America, regardless the media is at war for the best coverage that Washington Post's fails..
