Again, you keep blaming the election on the hacking, rather than the content of the emails. If the emails were hacked and the content not made available to the public, it would have been a fruitless endeavor and we still would have seen Trump win the EC. Maybe the RNC does have corruption? Maybe they send emails back and forth full of racial slurs and bigotry (like the DNC)? Maybe they employed a better security system; one that doesn't allow an utter knob complete liability in a phishing attempt?
Blaming the hack for the election is like blaming a divorce on the fact that one spouse spied on the other, but caught them cheating in the act. It's juvenile and by this point, almost insulting to think any vindication is washed away as a result. Don't start with the whole "Putin interfered with our Democratic election" bullroar, either. America has and will continue arbitrarily dictating foreign elections, so to retort with that is literally a sense of American privilege that needs to be checked ASAP.
I didn't vote for Trump, but I'm certain most of the people around me did. I can tell you right now their minds were made up long before the exposure of corruption occurred.
Fake news in my opinion would be a collective that sets out with the intention of misleading the people. What we have here is much, much worse.
With Reddit, we could see that the contributing authors were set out with the intention of sharing information. We know now that the CEO has been directly modifying that information. Therefore, there's no way to subjectively verify the information contained in Reddit hasn't been falsified in some way. That will work just fine for people with a narrative that aligns with the CEO. Tampering with information is the opposite of dissemination, in my opinion.
"If not, he hands a Trump presidency the freedom to take his prize."
So, the narrative of pardoning a couple of heroes who exposed big corruption in our government is now a matter of which president gets the glory? Politics as usual.

All of that ass whipping across millions of users took its toll on the poor llama, who has been on life support since 2015.
