2 Question, what’s your expectations for CNN? And if Hillary would have won the election, the topic of Russia meddling in elections....would it even be covered?

Sorry but CNN is not fake news. Do they lean liberal? Sure. Do they fabricate stories? No.

And they’re nowhere near in matching the toxicity of FOX during Obama’s tenure.

I would be interested to see the number of negative articles toward Obama on Fox vs the equivalent number of negative articles toward Trump on CNN.

I would speculate the numbers would be even or CNNs would outnumber Foxs. Especially in the first 2 years.

Again I will ask, becuase it is negative or leans "left" does it make it "FAKE"?

No. It can and does happen on right-leaning outlets and left-leaning sources.
