      Again, the reason fake news has gained purchase recently is bc of major fail at traditional media. They cannot be separated.

      And WaPo more than any other outlet has to live by the terms it has adopted. It failed its own fake news criteria here.

      No it hasn't. Different mode of failure. So obviously so that I'm not sure there can be a serious discussion.

      Reports story without sufficient techical understanding—then retracts. Can't tell that from "Pope endorses Trump" at click farm?

      PS. (WaPo's won fake news story was garbage—but that also doesn't make the fraudulent clicks/misinformation farms non-existent).

      PPS: WaPo's failures are far more dangerous to democracy.

      I don't think you can quantify it like that. Both present real dangers; neither invalidates the others' dangers.

      Yes. You are very invested in dismissing any causal effect here.

      Also, description of original WaPo hack story is inaccurate. It was a technical problem AND rush to publish anon leak w/o journalism

      WaPo ran an anon leak w/o contacting utility.

      Dumb, opportunistic jumping at sensational story. Newsroom economics. Retracted. Still not "Hmm, how about Pope Endorses Trump".

          Sure. Just noting that your description of this was inaccurate. You need to include the failure to do basic journalism.

          "Denver Guardian" retracted Clinton FBI agent story. Practice of retracting cant be used per se as evidence of real news

          "Denver Guardian" is fake; if we can't figure that much out, what is the point of any reference to facts?
