This is truly mind-boggling:

What? Come on, that cannot be true! I’d ask Harry Reid himself, but he’s a big old Liar McLiar Pants so I still wouldn’t know the truth.
Much of the responsibility for separating what's real and what's fake will fall on Democrats, writes Harry Reid https://t.co/nf8utWfQh0 pic.twitter.com/lQ1Z0hDacv

Oh dear. That’s right. Harry Reid, Mr. Some Guy Told This Other Guy Who Knows My Cousin Who told My Barber That Romney Didn’t Pay His Taxes, actually wrote about separating truth from lies. How on earth did he type while maniacally cackling? Worse, he claims the Democrats would be responsible for it. Since, you know, they are so awesome at truth and such.
Oh, sure! Like I'm going to let the Democrats decide what is and is not "real" news. https://t.co/JxeG5KUyJ6

What came next? Delicious mockery.
@allahpundit @nytopinion Is he going to write about Mitt Romney’s tax returns??

Snort.
This f***ing guy. He said Romney didn't pay taxes and then grinned about it because Romney lost. https://t.co/kDhMQFoBC4

Democrats should separate truth from lies, wrote the guy who falsely accused a man of not paying taxes for 10 yrs. https://t.co/d2oXsr0UBR

Just a reminder: Harry Reid said Mitt Romney hadn't paid taxes in a decade. That wasn't true. https://t.co/lWtnsOuPYE

Oh, man. When you’ve lost Cillizza …
Galling. Dems thought it was all shits and giggles when he was making up stuff about Mitt out of whole cloth. Careful what you wish for https://t.co/uKCNfMK3F1

Really. What is this “fake news” stuff actually about, though?
How convenient. https://t.co/WXL25MuHJW

someone said Fake News is 2016's version of 2013's Climate of Hate– an easy, fact-free concept for the media to bash GOP with

Precisely. It’s just like the “new tone” and “civility” nonsense Democrats pulled. That sure backfired, didn’t it? Hint: This will too, Democrats and your media flacks.
One could argue that the media's tendency to self-fabricate stories– Climate of Hate, Fake News–is in fact itself Fake News (and Hate!)
