Fake News

The outlets, hosts and accounts that knew better. This register documents what was broadcast, what the same people said privately at the same hour, and what it cost in settlements, retractions, and public health. Reporting that is merely hostile does not belong here; reporting that was knowingly false does.

Both terms 45th term · 6
Someone who served in both presidencies is counted in both, so these do not add up to the register total. The two terms carry different records: 45th-term entries are the 2020 election and January 6; 47th-term entries are conduct in office since. An entry in one is not an accusation about the other.
