Hillary Clinton and Harry Reid are Democrats who have ironically and laughably been blasting the spread of “fake news.”
On that subject, Kurt Eichenwald tweeted last night that the crowd at a Donald Trump speech booed late astronaut and U.S. Senator John Glenn but later realized that wasn’t the case (the crowd reportedly booed a protester who had interrupted Trump as he spoke about Glenn):

Eichenwald deleted the inaccurate tweet, but not before it made the rounds quickly:

Another example of…

Clinton and Reid will NOT share the above as an example of “#FakeNews.”
I've seen video at this point. Absolutely no doubt whatsoever that @kurteichenwald misrepresented what happened. A protester interrupted.

@ScottInSC @JimmyPrinceton intentional. That's one method the left uses.

Says it all about deranged, out-of-touch #MSM. Actually thinks Trump supporters would boo John Glenn upon mention of the hero's death. https://t.co/l5unH72Drm

even his correction is wrong. @kurteichenwald is a hack.

MSM knows AND USES this…the big splashy front page story gets a lot more views than the follow up 3-sentence retraction/correction

Note it's mainstream media again contributing to the fake news it likes to call out. https://t.co/AvfOAwqiup
