Anatomy of a ‘fake news’ story

President Trump rails against "fake news." But just what is this so-called fake news, exactly? Let's take an in-depth look at one piece that — in my opinion — perfectly exemplifies fake news.

Democrats mute as Trump bashed overseas

We can disagree at home all we like, but when the president of the United States -- America's president -- goes overseas, we are all Americans. All of us. Whether you voted for the current president or not, Americans are bound together by the simple undeniable bond that we are all, in the end, just that: Americans.

Former Vice President Joe Biden smiles as he speaks to the media during a campaign stop with Democratic gubernatorial candidate Richard Cordray at the Beyond Image Barber Salon, Friday, June 29, 2018, in Cincinnati. Former Vice President Joe Biden is urging Americans to "rise up" to demand President Donald Trump nominate a "consensus candidate" to the Supreme Court. Biden sided with Democrats who have said the Senate should postpone the confirmation process until after the mid-term elections.

Hillary Clinton rains on parade of Democrats in Selma — again

Hillary Clinton just can't stop. The 71-year-old grandmother in terrible health, who occasionally falls down and breaks a limb or bangs her head so hard she suffers a concussion, will not simply go away. More than two years after she lost to Donald Trump in a stunning upset, the two-time loser keeps clinging to her former glory like an over-the-hill Hollywood actress.

Michael Cohen stuck with liar label
