Tennessee GOP introduces "fake news" resolution

Right-wing legislators would be a laugh-out-loud riot if they didn't enact laws that intentionally cause harm to real people - and if they didn't introduce resolutions like this that make a mockery of their constituents.

Republican legislators in Tennessee have put forth a resolution to declare CNN and the Washington Post "fake news" because their coverage of the Trump regime isn't positive enough. This is especially absurd regarding CNN, as that network has lurched so far to the right lately.

The resolution by State Rep. Micah Van Huss calls for Tennessee "to recognize CNN and The Washington Post as fake news and condemn them for denigrating our citizens."

The only entity denigrating Tennesseeans is the GOP. They do it by installing such laughable public officials as this.

The resolution whines that commentators at each outlet have likened Trump's followers to a cult. Well, Donald Trump's followers do not represent the people of Tennessee. Trump only got 1.5 million votes in a state with 4.1 million registered voters, so even in one of his best states, a majority aren't on board with his fascism.

Much of the media seems singularly dedicated to advancing right-wing causes, so it's hard for me to keep a straight face when someone cries that it has a liberal bias.
