in which I participate. So, I can't really comment on "left wing fake news" from those sources. What I can say is that I pay very close attention to the news -- too much, according to a couple of my friends -- and every story about Trump that I saw during the campaign was corroborated by his own words and actions, which I saw for myself. Since his election, about the only thing I've seen from the left that seemed "fake" was a statement that he was considering resigning. That appeared here on DU, and I questioned it at the time. It seemed to fade away. What are some other examples of left wing fake news items that others know about?
