You can't miss it - misinformation in our mainstream media is everywhere! There was a time when we labeled this calculated misreporting yellow journalism. Today, however, we know it simply as Fake News!
Undeniably, the "yellow kids" are back at it like never before (well, at least since the 1890's). Yellow journalism, with its deliberate misinformation and hoaxes, is spreading like wildfire. And in the wake of its global resurgence, the very fabric of reputable media coverage is being undermined.
Although the phrase Fake News Media is gaining traction, and at a rapid clip, it is still, however, in its neologistic stage. That is, it has yet to be fully acknowledged into the mainstream language.
Personally, I'd like to see the Fake News Media designation established sooner rather than later. But for the neologism to be recognized in Websters Dictionary some sort of catalyst is required to accelerate its pace of acceptance.
That's when it occurred to me. What better way to hasten the adoption of a phrase than to generate its very own acronym. The perfect accelerant!
To that end I forged ahead, making one small step for man and one giant leap for mankind, by dubbing Fake News Media as "FNM."
And with that, dear friends, FMN's were officially launched (you may rightly deduce that this blog post acts as the imprimatur for FNM's sanctioned usage).
However, no sooner had the letters FNM rolled off my tongue when it became readily apparent that its very utterance could easily be mistaken for M&M's. Understandably, I could not risk letting that stand for a moment.
This brings me to the reason for my post – to clear up any confusion that could arise from anyone citing M&M's or FNM's. Clarity is demanded.
Following then, is a result of countless hours of painstaking research and sweat.
First, I contacted Mars Incorporated. After speaking with at least a dozen helpful voices I pressed on until I finally reached the CEO, Grant Reid. We got down to business quickly, and within five minutes his email arrived in my inbox. It was the Holy Grail I was looking for: the list of the ten most authoritative and often referenced facts about M&M's. Check.
Next, I vigorously contemplated the similarities and differences between the official M&M's facts and what we understand today about FNM's. It was tough going but I think the what developed was worthy of the challenge. Check.
Finally, I compiled my two lists and posted them below, in juxtaposition to each other.
Having said all that...it gives me a Chris Matthews, tingle-up-the-spine thrill to introduce you to the 10 Undeniable Distinctions Between M&Ms’s and FNM’s (You Won't See In Fake News Media).
The two letters in M&M represent the names of:
The three letters in FNM represent the names of:
M&M’s are “colorful button-shaped chocolates,” each of which has the letter “m" printed in lower case on one side, surrounds a filling which varies depending upon the variety of M&M’s.
FNM’s are “deceitful misshaped journalism,” each of which is identified by their fake-news letters printed in either lower or upper case, propounds an agenda which varies depending upon the variety of FNM’s.
The original candy had a milk chocolate filling which, upon introducing other variations, was branded as the “plain.”
The original media had a noble appellation, the Fourth Pillar of Democracy, which, upon introducing other infiltrations, was branded as the “fake news media.”
Numerous other variations of M&M’s have been introduced, some of which are regularly widespread varieties (such as peanut butter, almond, pretzel, crispy, dark chocolate, and caramel).
Numerous other variations of FNM’s have been introduced, some of which are regularly widespread varieties (such as New York Times, The Washington Post, Huffington Post, CNN, Buzzfeed, and USA Today).
M&M’s originated in the United States in 1941, and are now consumed throughout the world.
FNM’s originated in Print (books, pamphlets, newspapers, magazines, etc.) from the late 15th century, Recordings (gramophone records, magnetic tapes, cassettes, cartridges, CDs, and DVDs) from the late 19th century, Cinema from about 1900, Radio from about 1910, Television from about 1950, Internet from about 1990, Mobile phones from about 2000, and are now consumed throughout the world.
More than 400 million individual M&M candies are produced every day in the United States alone.
More than 400 million individual FNM reports are produced every day in the United States alone.
M&M’s are produced in different colors, some of which have changed over the years.
FNM’s are produced in one color, Comrade Red, none of which have changed over the years.
The candy-varnished chocolate concept was inspired by an innovative method used to allow soldiers to carry chocolate without having it dissolve into guck.
The truth-varnished story concept was inspired by an old-fashioned method used to allow journalists to misshape news without voters knowing the facts have been dissolved into guck.
"Melts in your mouth, not in your hand."
M&M’s longest-lasting slogan describes its appeal to those who have observed chocolates melting long before it has ever reached their mouth to be swallowed.
“Melts in your heart, not in your brain.”
FNM’s longest-lasting slogan describes its appeal to those who swallow news emotionally long before it has ever reached their brain to be observed.
The weight of a traditional M&M is consistent, weighing about 0.032 ounces and has about 4.7 kilocalories of substantive energy (1.7 kcal from fat).
The weight of a traditional FNM varies greatly, weighing about six tons (for emotional consumers) to 0.00001 ounces (for thinking individuals) and has about 0.00001 kilocalories of substantive energy (959.0 kcal from fatheads).

| 10 Undeniable Distinctions Between M&Ms’s and FNM’s (You Won't See In Fake News Media) |
As you might suspect, the primary purpose of yellow journalism is to mislead. Why? To gain a financial or political advantage. How? By employing sensational, exaggerated, or patently false headlines to grab your attention, and then follow up with deceptive content. Where? It's found in every facet of our culture, in print, recordings, cinema, radio, television, the internet, and mobile phones. Thus, "fake news media."
Although the phrase Fake News Media is gaining traction, and at a rapid clip, it is still, however, in its neologistic stage. That is, it has yet to be fully acknowledged into the mainstream language.

The two letters in M&M represent the names of:
- Forrest E. Mars Sr., the founder of Newark Company.
- Bruce Murrie, the son of Hershey Chocolate's president William F. R. Murrie.
The three letters in FNM represent the names of:
- Fake – the foundation of the agenda driven journalism (see Nancy Pelosi, CNN, 2017 Democratic Party).
- News – any dubious, unreliable, misleading, unsubstantiated, and contrived information circulated as having passed the rigors of bona fide journalism to promote a political agenda.
- Media – the handmaiden of the ruler of the world, Satan, the progenitor of the vast majority of information American’s are exposed to in print, online and television news. There are documented incidents where He's even infiltrated Fox.
