    Serious Journalists are conflating obviously disparate phenomena under the banner of "fake news" -- why? An ulterior motive, perhaps?

        The "ulterior motive" -- whether conscious or subconscious -- is to use the "fake news" scare as an excuse to impose ideological conformity.

        So that "fake" would mean "anything not produced by us."

        when is someone going to tell them what they are looking at is a mirror? What they see in fake news is what we see in them.

        I would characterize such behavior as proto-totalitarian. Such tactics are well known in authoritarian/totalitarian regimes.

        The more they do it, the more likely Trump admin is going to come down on MSM/social media empires as violating anti-trust laws.

        the pizzagate issue is diff because of the claim that something was new and in progress. Different from wacky claims about history.

        claims about Vince Foster cannot be interrogated by believers, not fake news. Believing is silly but materially harmless to others.

        trying to re-establish value of trusted news source. Medium used to be shorthand for legitimacy (newspaper v newsletter). No more.

        Anything that is not "their" news is fake. No longer matters. Do they still have readers/viewers?
