I listened to JRE regularly between 2019 until his sellout move from Youtube to Spotify in 2020.

The really sad thing about Joe is that you could tell he had (maybe deep down, still has, maybe?) a more reasonable side to his temperament. Some of his political sensibilities were decidedly liberal, even though he is mostly associated with being batshit insane these days and/or as a puppet mouthpiece of the right.

I guess $200,000,000 can really change a guy.

The above poster isn't saying that Trump made up 'fake news,' they are pointing out that the overuse of 'fake news' has become fatiguing to many people. We hear 'fake news' and we don't have a visceral negative reaction to it as we should, it's just something we roll our eyes at now because hearing it over and over again has desensitized us.

Another recent comparable would be the word 'enshittification' which, while apt, already seems like a tired expression that also somehow underscores the severity of the phenomenon it is describing.
