In “The Aura of change vs. real change” which I liked, I take issue with your use of “fake news reporter” in the sentence that went something like: “As I spoke to 100 demonstrators, as every fake news reporter does,…” I take issue because you are not reporting fake news, you are not a fake reporter, and I don’t think you should expect readers to understand you are being sarcastic. Isn’t the idea of such a piece to win over less sophisticated readers and those who may not agree with you right off? You’re hurting your own arguments by repeating the false phrases of POTUS.
