#1 Back when I worked for big internet companies, a frequently used buzzword was 'disintermediation'. The MSM is clearly unhappy about being disintermediated. Although I also like Assange's 'The media weaponizes the facts'.

#5 Does Trump call them out for being the fake media because they are the propaganda arm for the Democrat Party; in other words they are the fake media. Few pay any attention to them anymore; they provide zip information on much of anything.

#7 They are fake because when something is too juicy they jump rather than attempt to fact check, or even ask a clarifying question. See Trump's recent comments on Sweden and compare to 8 years of Obama getting the opposite treatment.

#8 How bad?

It was refreshing to visit the waiting room, and have Family Guy on rather than the news entertainment channels.
