      The @washingtonpost is not "fake news," but some of my replies in the past 24 hours have made the claim. Beware a delegitimization campaign.

      That's a problem, but so were 1) WaPo's credulous magnification of the term 2) WaPo's multiple badly reported stories on RU.

      I think connecting mistakes in reporting to the fake news phenomenon is dangerous.

      Or maybe the term "fake news" was ahistoric and imbecilic from the start?

      What is it? Was Bret Baier's "Hillary will be indicted" fake news or irresponsible reporting? @digiphile

          I'd say irresponsible & he apologized. You wouldn't see that from a Macedonian programmer - bc they don't exist

          And I'm not sure how we distinguish Fox motives on "truth" and "expedient for GOP." For many at Fox goal is latter. @digiphile

          we're endorsing "police forces" for our info environment? Does it involve checks on SV and bandwidth?
