President Donald Trump’s “Fake News Awards” are scheduled today, Wednesday, January 17. As of 5 PM EST, The Fake News Awards have not begun, nor has the President announced exactly what format the awards announcement will take.
President Trump originally announced via Twitter on January 2nd that he would be holding the “Most Dishonest & Corrupt Media Awards Of The Year” on Monday, January 8th. However, on Sunday, January 7th, President Trump pushed the awards back, now with the far sleeker title of “The Fake News Awards” to Wednesday, January 17th, saying that the “interest in, and importance of, these awards is far greater than anyone could have anticipated!”
Fake news is defined as a “type of propaganda that consists of deliberate misinformation or hoaxes spread via traditional print and broadcast news media or online social media.”
After over two weeks of anticipation and curiosity about The Fake News Awards, citizens on both sides of the aisle are surely curious as to what the categories will be, who the winners will be, and how the winners will be announced. Stay tuned here to find out!
Fake News Awards Winners
This post will be updated when the winners (or losers) of the Fake News Awards are announced/revealed. As of 5:45 PM EST, nothing has been announced.
2018 Fake News Awards Categories & Nominees
The full list of nominees at the 2018 Fake News Awards Of The Year is unknown, as the President is expected to only announce the winner/loser of each award. Suspected nominees include media establishments such as NBC, ABC, CNN, CBS, the New York Times, the Washington Post, and more.
Given the President’s frequent support and advertisement of Fox News programs such as “Sean Hannity” and “Fox & Friends”, many people accurately predicted that Fox News will not be nominated for any of the Most Dishonest & Corrupt Media awards.
