McCain's warning about Trump's attack on the free press isn't exactly fake news.
That's not so much hysteria as a "reasoned" warning.
It's now become a question of how to deal with Trump.
A comment like McCain's...just "matter of factly" stating "that's how Dictator's start" has much more impact than some of the more vocal and hysterical approaches.
A five minute bit from Alec Baldwin or John Oliver has more impact than a dozen rallies.
It's important that the opponents of Trump remain reasoned, controlled and disciplined.
Sending him up in a comedic fashion is also useful (He actually finds this really difficult to counter, and it does get to him)...anything else plays right into his hands and he'll bounce it right back at them.
