The guardian reports on a sobering event in Washington DC.
US police have arrested a man wielding an assault rifle who entered a pizza restaurant that was the target of fake news reports it was operating a child abuse ring led by Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and her top campaign aide.
[...] The suspect entered the restaurant and pointed a gun at a restaurant employee, who fled and notified authorities, police said. The man then discharged the weapon inside the restaurant. There were no injuries.
[...] [Police] said the suspect during an interview with investigators revealed that he came to the establishment to "self-investigate" Pizzagate, the police statement said. Pizzagate is a baseless conspiracy, which falsely claims Clinton and her campaign chief John Podesta were running a child sex ring from the restaurant's backrooms.

The difference being one side lost the election to a tv reality star (really, that's one for the record books), and the other imploded upon impact.
At the moment, the absolute best critiques of Trump aren't coming from the left, but from old stalwart conservatives like Ben Shapiro. Let that sink in for a bit. One of the previous superstars of the "fake news" galaxy is doing some of the most incisive analysis of the problems with Trump.
You realize then how inconsequential the left, the MSM, and most of this mewling about fake news is. This is the last gasps of a failed ideology demanding attention while the rest of the world has moved on.
But wait, there's more-
What's worse is the left can't even get some reflected glory because that would mean sharing the street with conservatives, independents, libertarians, and moderates; and would bring into sharp focus the lefts' absence when the complaints about Obama were taking place.
The liberals' nightmare has finally come true- the country is right and further right. Liberalism is dead (at least in its current incarnation), and this fake news bit is nothing more than a last bid to maintain some relevance while the rest of us set the body on fire.
