Yeah that's not good enough. You can't use old material to accompany a recent news story. If you do, you're open to criticism and it's your own fault.
That Trump's fake news stance isn't warranted and isn't *really* any bit more waranted because of photogate is clear as day to you and me. But this isn't about you or me.

No, that of course would not make it fake news. Nor does the wrong photograph. But I'm not the one who needs to be convinced of that.

I don't know who is argueing the opposite. No one here seems to argue the article is wrong, infactual or incorrect in any way, except for the mischosen photograph. Regarding the Trump angle, I choose Bels answer here. Could only have said it worse.
