Why we should bring back an oldie but goodie: "propaganda."
Reminder: Before it was hijacked the term "fake news" referred to the real, insidious phenomenon of a hostile power planting fabricated stories into the media, not news stories one side doesn't like.

What should we call media outlets that infuse bias into "reporting" of facts. Is there a true "news"organization? I can't think of one true news org.

It would need to be run by robots. Humans will always have some bias even if they strive to be impartial.

Don't make me puke with your righteousness. Before the MSM was hijacked by the DNC and reporters and editors started reporting an agenda not the Facts. 2016 pulled the curtain apart and now bankruptcy of the MSM can be seen on a daily basis.

The real problem with "fake news" is way scarier than people think. Falling for a fake article IS NOT the problem: http://bit.ly/2gJAUo2

I would think fake news is anything not true, or anything presented to influence thinking to the presenters point of view. That’s opinion not news.
-
The first is fake news. The second is not. If it is true, it is not fake news. It may be deceptively packaged and misleading. But not fake news.
-
Opinions are not fake news. Opinions are opinions. Fake news is lies (not the same as mistaken belief) presented as truth to mislead.

Fake news is a term that should be avoided. It is trumps “big lie”.
