    Often times political reporters are using entrapment questions designed to make the politician look bad. The politician then tries to explain the circumstances rather than answer the questions.

    With respect to "fake news" that has actual facts, the presentation of the facts are often bias. For instance, Hillary may lie about being under sniper fire in Bosnia, or about blaming Benghazi on a YouTube video, and the press will call her the "most qualified candidate in modern history". Then Trump may brag about his inauguration being the largest ever, when Obama's were actually larger, and the press will say "Trump lies therefore he isn't qualified to be president".

    Because you're too stupid to understand what you're being told. A fact mischaracterized is fake news.

    Fact - Flynn called the Russian Ambassador. Fake news - That means Trump is collaborating with the Russians.
