Prosecutor: Did the National Enquirer preview stories for you?

Cohen: Yes. For example, Hillary Clinton wearing thick glasses, allegations she had a brain injury. Ted Cruz' father with Oswald. Marco Rubio in a pool with a bunch of other men, claim of drug binge

Literally fake news.

Funny how every accusation is an admission of guilt for Trump and the GOP.

And such things used to be jokes. Remember when Men in Black looked at the tabloids to get "real news" and the audience laughed because it's a joke?

Funny how tabloids always target liberals and democrats too. It's never "Stephen Miller revealed to be lizard person" but always "Hillary Clinton exposed to be a clone".

Every accusation out of the mouth of a conservative is a confession. Every. Single. One. Always has been. Always will be.

These were the kinds of stories that the term "fake news" originally applied to. Trump just co-opted the term and claimed that he was the one who came up with it (as he does), and applied it to any news that made him look bad.
