But that's separate phenom from "fake news," which only ever exists in false contradistinction with outlets that may exhibit similar traits.

Agreed--but if u r trying to stop / flag fn, the kind of sieve u would need to catch the NYT article would need 2 b much different.

Yes. But the exercise in hunting out fake news without also applying some sieve to NYT is fruitless.

Idk, I'd worry about bullshit op-eds after Russia. But YMMV.

Not sure what you mean?

I suspect that the NYT story spread faster thru liberal channels than conservative ones. Suspect not pushed by political actors (?)

That's 1) not what actual data show 2) irrelevant to the question of whether fake news exists bc real news lost credibility.

What does the data show? Serious, non-snark question. Do U have stats on spread of NYT article already?
