These fake news websites are so shameless that when a fake news launch date comes and goes they just pick a new one a month or week later "ackzually its coming out next month"

I stick to the mainstream sites: iMore, Cult of Mac, 9 to 5 Mac and MacRumors
I don't know which websites you are citing as fake, but none of the above websites have come out with a definitive date for product release.
What they have done is report leaks from the usual "insiders" who often get information correct. Kuo is a big one, for example.
Digitimes didn't even give a date.
However, one thing has been very rampant in the rumor mill: The 16" MBP has been in production for the past few weeks. CNET even reported this morning they are expecting a release before Black Friday.
MacBook Pro 16-inch: 4 rumors swirling around Apple's jumbo laptop
We may even see a major redesign sometime before Black Friday.
No definitive dates, though.
Funny, I see more people on this forum acting like they have first-hand knowledge and offering DEFINITIVE statements more than news sites.

Some have said there could be an Apple TV announcement today since Execs are giving interviews and an MBP tomorrow.
Well, end of the week anyway. I suppose Apple could do it in Nov, but I'm thinking its now or they wait for Comet Lake in the spring.
More like a 1PM EST which lines up with all of the other 10AM PST launches.
what i read about ming chi kuo is he said 2020

No point just put MacRumors notifications up and wait for it to happen...
It means don’t give up hope. They are continuing to be active this week. Until a day goes by without an announcement, there is some reason to hope for the MBP coming the next day.
Well, he was in NYC, guessing not for the MacBook Pro, guess sometime in November is the hope now.
im happy the current rumor is 16" is rumored to be being a silent drop.
i was worrying back when a October even still looked possible that if they announced the 16 inch MacBook Pro it would give them an excuse to hold off on the traditional four-year full refresh cycle that we expect in 2020.
Because Apple needs to win back its pros with an actually good computer.
my 2015 will only last so long, I already had it longer than normal and already chomping at the bit to upgrade and don’t want to go full hackintosh if I don’t need to.
Apple please don’t make me need to.

Catalina update is out and no MBP. See you all in 2020
What's your source that it's coming in 2020?
The Kuo rumor mainly that mentioned MacBooks coming in second quarter 2020. The 16” could come before that, don’t know for sure, but that’ll be my next guess if nothing comes this fall.
Okay, it's a guess.
The only problem with all of this is that sources have said the MBP has been in production. Maybe something will drop before the week is up. Maybe November.
...and, yes, if not then, 2020.
As usual, assumptions
It's gonna be whenever Timmy wants not when the Pros need it
