None of it is fake news. I hate that term.
Something happened in the 2016 election. Not fake news. Most if not all of our intel agencies think the Russians were involved, in everything from spreading propaganda, manipulation of social media, to actual attempts to hack voting machines.
I agree that people should go outside, enjoy life, and stop hanging on every little morsel that comes out on the investigation and the apparent attempts to thwart it. Let the damn thing follow the evidence where ever it goes. But even more importantly, people have to lose that phrase "fake news". It was co-opted by Trump and is now the phrase of choice for tinpot dictators around the world. It should have no place here. It's just a propaganda stand-in for "news I don't like and don't want others to believe because that would be bad for me".
