CNN was founded in 1980, so would have had to live with it for at least those years. It is unlikely Mr. Reagan actually made...

[23:13:15] <exec> 08└─That fake news not promoted by themselves is much worse than their own fake news. Their own fake news should be allowed to flourish, but other sources of fake news must be stamped out. These non-corporate sourced fake news are like terrorism, and we have a war on terrorism right?

[23:13:17] <exec> 08└─It's probably more accurate to call it trawling. As in trawling for reactions. As opposed to trolling as in being the troll under a bridge. Unfortunately, people seem to think that bring peavish or insulting is trolling and it really isn't.
