And it has made a lot of people use the "fake news" argument any time they are presented with something that they do not like. Not it will be the democrats claiming "fake news". I didn't vote for Trump, and if Mueller didn't find anything to indict him on, then it is time to move on. Honestly, everyone should be happy that Trump didn't collude. (at least it is very highly unlikely he did not collude).
This Russia stuff was fake news all along and anybody willing to use their brain knew it, even a lot of those peddling it, as said in this no holds barred article.

"America got conned again.
It was all a big set-up. A ruse. A dirty canard.
The whole thing was one giant lie.
And everybody peddling it — from House Democratic leaders, to Senate Democrats running for president, to the Senate Republican who reported the whole thing in the first place, to the roaring lions of the Great White Media — knew it was a lie.
Sure, there are some — take sleazy lawyer Michael Avenatti, for instance — who are so monumentally stupid that he probably did not know that it was all a big con. It is not uncommon for newbies on Washington politics to fall for giant cons while somehow thinking they are doing the Lord’s work. These people think very highly of themselves.
But for the most part, all the lizards around here selling this pile of horse manure about Russian hookers, backdoor deals and unprintable bedroom behavior knew it was a big fat lie. They told the lie anyway...."
