lügenpresse

Lügenpresse: Originally a pejorative term used by German political movements referring to the printed press; was commonly used by Nazis to denigrate anti-nazi coverage in German media. Currently used among some in US alt-right and white nationalist circles to denigrate mainstream or anti-Trump reporting. Seems to overtly highlight users sympathy for Nazi viewpoint, similar to alt-right salute and phrase "hail victory". Lügenpresse is one of several terms used by extreme right to discredit main stream media.

CNN, the New York Times and the rest of the lügenpresse are enemies of the state spewing fake news.
