How are they different? What is "not helpful" abt treating all fake news similarly?
-
Because the mechanisms are drastically different. Isn't it terribly obvious?

Then we need to distinguish delivery mechanism (US cos largely governed by US law) from content, even if Putin uses it?
@zeynep -
I think so. But this also colored by our utter failure to deal with the consequences of Iraq, across many issues.

Even more so the financial crisis. People don't lose their homes if CNBC doesn't hype that shit.

It's either fake, or it's news. Can't be both fake and news. Isn't that an oxymoron?
