CAUGHT: Washington Post, media decry 'fake news,' but look at what this WaPo journo reported!

Apparently we're to believe that JoeBob's Clickbait Emporium can influence elex, but the Washington Post's "She the People" vertical can't.

Snort. What sparked that? Well, as Twitchy readers know, the Washington Post and other media outlets are decrying “fake news” after Trump trounced Hillary Clinton in the election. President Obama weighed in too, natch (Hint: Stupidly).

Why the “fake news” pearl-clutching? It’s easier than, you know, attempting to learn.

The media-Democrat complex seized on its two CYA "narratives" — racism, "Fake News" — in a record 8 days time. Introspection is for losers

Bingo.Looking in the mirror is hard! Especially if one may not find a reflection. Meow.

The most trusted news source for liberals in 2012 was…THE DAILY SHOW with Jon Stewart.

So now people want to worry about fake news?

OK.

Huh. Curious that. Also, WaPo should take a look at its own reporters. How awkward is this?:

OOPS. And actual news? According to WaPo, it’s conspiracy theory stuff!

Bam! And some exit advice for those screeching about “fake news”:

Facebook and Google are cracking down on fake news sites. I hope that includes NYT, WaPo, CNN, Newsweek, AP, etc. #TuesdayMotivation pic.twitter.com/3VyVhFVXkf
