      Various critics have demonstrated time and again (see most recently @politicalmath) that fact checkers are strongly biased to the left.

      So strongly biased, in fact, that Politifact can be considered a partisan outfit. It has no credibility as an honest or impartial broker.

      Given that, to try to have it adjudicate fake news could only be regarded as an affront and provocation. Even something nefarious.

      Burke on cons' view of fact checkers: "They augur misgovernment at a distance, and snuff the approach of tyranny in every tainted breeze."

      That list some academic published that had @RedState and other conservative sites as "fake news" didn't help matters at all.

      Righty sites get marked as "fake" and fact checkers with a history of bias are picked to enforce new rules? That won't blow up in your face.

      In those circumstances, it was inevitable that "fake news" would be turned into another weapon in the right's arsenal against media bias.

      As with @KFoleyFL, @KevinWGlass, and @JonahNRO, I believe the term "fake news" is worth preserving. But I fear, alas, it's a lost cause.

      You can get pretty deep pretty fast into the epistemological weeds with this fake news stuff. I'm stopping before I run into Pontius Pilate.

      Good analysis. But the term is marred by its promotion immediately post-election as a prevention of self-reflection for liberals
