At this point, using the phrase 'fake news' causes me to immediately heavily discount the reliability of the speaker and the validity of whatever it is they apparently want me to believe.

Then you've been manipulated by Trump who says fake news to everything, so that it looks as if he's calling bad reporting out even though he is the biggest fake news spreader. Have you thought about that? It's the same as turkey calling other countries dictatorships and Nazis, so that they can't be called that. It's a very common manipulation strategy.
