I'm not sure it's fake news per se because he's reporting on trials - his bias is no different to some of the rot from Fail or Grauniad. He's deliberately breaking reporting restrictions, but I suppose he'd say he's not a reporter and not bound by restrictions. Which is BS. He knew what he was doing and deserved punishing. Maybe he did it knowing he'd be made in some idiotic martyr, but I don't think he's that smart.
What I have been fascinated about is how many people in certain circles abroad now know who he is and are outraged about the imprisonment (without knowing his dirty past it must be said). It does feed a certain growing narrative/movement that is out there about the UK and politics in general. It's fascinating how the divides since Brexit and Trump are really polarising politics at the moment.
It is fake news because he claims the national media/"establishment" aren't covering or covering up these cases which is clearly rubbish as the reports are out there from years ago. Those investigations have actually caused the police to become involved. But if Wonderboy Tommy was to mention this then his whole reason for the campaign is undermined, hence fake news.
As for the international coverage, that is down to the loose association of various nationalistic/populist parties in Europe and the resurgence of the far more conservative element in the US under the Alt Right movement. Even the UKIP leader (there's been so many recently I can't remember his name) has jumped on the bandwagon and complained about Muslims on one of Tommy's rallies apparently*.
Steve Bannon is the now trying trying to unite the European parties to form a party to sit in the European Parliament and provide support for such an endeavour.
It certainly does show a polarisation and quite divisive which is what helped Trump I think.
