        Hence the malleability of the phrase -- it invites extreme manipulation.

        No, @mtracey's piece explicitly addressed that concern. Fake news would be less of a threat if official news weren't so corrupt.

        Uhh no, a lot of these sites are publishing completely made up garbage. Rewarding that behaviour is not a good path.

        The NYTimes often publishes made up garbage, but people find excuses why it's not made up.

        versus corporate or state-produced or influenced news, which could be called "ideological," but not fake or fiction.

        the FAKE NEWS issue was invented to silence dissent, just after barack gives up US control of internet.

        @ed_hooley @Medium I assume they are talking about Pizza Gate. No one wants to put out false news. I am going to investigate.

        right. But unfortunately so does fictitious news: click-bait, profit, nihilism.

        and #PizzaGate must never see the light of the #MSM. Top pols are linked to it, just as in UK/Belgium/Aus/Canada/Norway.

        #FakeNews is a pre-emptive strike against coming revelations regarding #Pizzagate, which the MSM refuses to cover.
