Fake news is also about playing word games. Like when Trump said Obama was tapping his phones, the press laughed and said that's ridiculous, isn't he a wacko. But it turned out they were spying on him. And that's the point. So while there may not have been a tap with Obama listening in with earphones, obviously not what Trump meant, the point Trump made was the Obama administration was spying on him, which turned out to be true.
The bias is over-the-top to most reasonable people but not Trump haters. The media never did that before with Obama and never went to that extent even with other Republicans. If the Republicans keep Congress in November and Trump gets re-elected in 2020, the whole Democrat and liberal media strategy would be shown to have failed. That will mean that independents saw through the BS. Time will tell.
