Donald Trump has frequently claimed
the mainstream media's got to be blamed
for always trying to make him lose
by spreading vicious, vile fake news.
So just a moment, we shall take,
to list some news that's surely fake.
The inaugural crowd was the biggest of all
(not according to photos that day on the mall) .
Three million votes were cast fraudulently
(without any proof of such conspiracy) .
The murder rate's highest in 45 years
(but there are no crime stats supporting such fears) .
Many terror attacks the press failed to report
(past coverage provides a convincing retort) .
So Donald, it seems that the tack that you take
is, if news doesn't favor you, it must be fake.
Fake news does surround us, that much is so true.
Such a shame that so much of it's coming... from you!

I would like to translate this poem
fake news surround us, true. are we also not fake?
Are you asking the age-old philosophical question, what is reality? Certainly, one person's truth may be very different from another's. I just try to concentrate on facts that can be verified from numerous, reliable sources (as opposed to alternative facts) .
