The history of the concept and the expression "Fake news" points to its German origins: "Lügenpresse". This term was reinvented and popularized by the far-right Pegida in 2014 according to Wikipedia, and adopted by Trump since 2016 for the broad popular use, misuse, and abuse. This is another indication that Trump's views, outlooks, and vocabulary are heavily influenced and most likely rooted in the New Abwehr's psychology and philosophy. The concept of the "fake news" is the New Abwehr's tool in its management of the Operation Trump.
Amazingly enough, the detailed Wikipedia article on the subject of the "Fake News" features a long list of countries which are susceptible to this phenomenon including Ukraine but strangely omitting Russia which probably is the the World Champ in this area.

N.: The New Abwehr enjoys and employs the deep and intimate connections with the criminal Underworld which go back to the early 1920-s, the conditions after the Germany’s defeat in the WW1 and the resulting “Restrictions” (I almost typed “Sanctions”) which made the symbiotic and sometimes parasitic relations with Police and Criminals the matter of survival for the Abwehr which based itself at that time at the Military Police Stations. Money Laundering is another, related sub-specialty which was a matter of survival and necessity at that time, and the Abwehr under Canaris (which really is the Abwehr we are talking about) made both areas the traditional historical “fields of excellence”. Money Laundering, from Deutsche Bank to Chabad dealers to Oligarchs, e.g. Lev Leviyev and others, and most notably by our pretty laundry girls and boys from the Trump-Kushner Crime Family, was and is one of the truly heart felt activities of the Abwehr, and after the WW2, for the New Abwehr. It is reasonable to assume that it is the New Abwehr which ultimately controls the organised crime today precisely because it itself is their creator and organiser. This thesis or the working hypothesis has to be looked into, researched, and investigated. 2.20.19
___________________________________________________
Fake news is written and published usually with the intent to mislead in order to damage an agency, entity, or person, and/or gain financially or politically,
[4][5][6] often using
sensationalist, dishonest, or outright fabricated
headlines to increase readership. Similarly,
clickbait stories and headlines earn advertising revenue from this activity.
[4]
The relevance of fake news has increased in
post-truth politics. For media outlets, the ability to attract viewers to their websites is necessary to generate online advertising revenue. Publishing a story with false content that attracts users benefits advertisers and improves ratings. Easy access to online
advertisement revenue, increased political polarization, and the popularity of
social media, primarily the
Facebook News Feed,
[1] have all been implicated in the spread of fake news,
[4][7] which competes with legitimate news stories. Hostile government actors have also been implicated in generating and propagating fake news, particularly during elections.
[8]
Fake news undermines serious media coverage and makes it more difficult for journalists to cover significant news stories.
[10] An analysis by
BuzzFeed found that the top 20 fake news stories about the
2016 U.S. presidential election received more engagement on Facebook than the top 20 election stories from 19 major media outlets.
[11] Anonymously-hosted
fake news websites[1] lacking known publishers have also been criticized, because they make it difficult to prosecute sources of fake news for
libel.
[12]
The term is also at times used to cast doubt upon legitimate news from an opposing political standpoint, a tactic known as the
lying press.
[13][14] During and after his presidential campaign and election,
Donald Trump popularized the term "fake news" in this sense when he used it to describe the negative press coverage of himself.
[15][16] In part as a result of Trump's use of the term, the term has come under increasing criticism, and in October 2018 the British government decided that it will no longer use the term because it is "a poorly-defined and misleading term that conflates a variety of false information, from genuine error through to foreign interference in democratic processes."

History[edit]
The term
Lügenpresse has been used intermittently since the 19th century in political polemics in Germany, by a wide range of groups and movements in a variety of debates and conflicts.
[1] Isolated uses can be traced back as far as the
Vormärz period.
[2] The term gained traction in the
March 1848 Revolution when Catholic circles employed it to attack the rising, hostile liberal press. In the
Franco-German War (1870–71) and particularly
World War I (1914–18) German intellectuals and journalists used the term to denounce what they believed was enemy war
propaganda.
[citation needed] The
Evangelischer Pressedienst [de] made its mission the fight against the "lying press" which it considered to be the "strongest weapon of the enemy".
[3] After the war, German-speaking Marxists such as
Karl Radek and
Alexander Parvus vilified "the
bourgeois lying press" as part of their class struggle rhetoric.
[4][5] The
Nazis adopted the term for their propaganda against the Jewish, communist, and later the foreign press. During the
protests of 1968, left-wing students disparaged the liberal-conservative
Axel Springer publishing house, notably its flagship daily
Bild, as a "lying press".
[6]
21st century usage[edit]
Germany[edit]
"Lügenpresse" banner seen in a
Pegida demonstration
In late 2014, the term was repopularised by the
far-right political movement
Pegida in response to what its protesters felt was a scornful treatment by the mainstream media, as well as biased press reporting on the rising
migrant influx and other immigration issues. It was chosen to be the "
Un-word of the year" for 2014 by a panel of five linguists and journalists of the
Gesellschaft für deutsche Sprache for "wholesale defamation" of the work of the media.
[7] President
Joachim Gauck condemned the chanting of the slogan as "ahistorical nonsense", maintaining that in contrast to the
Nazi and the
GDR era the
federal German press is not manipulative in character and "covers events mostly in a correct and balanced way".
[8]
Lying press (German: Lügenpresse, lit. 'press of lies') is a pejorative political term used largely by German political movements for the printed press and the mass media at large, when it is believed not to have the quest for truth at the heart of its coverage. It can be considered synonymous with the term fake news.
