In case you're confused about conflicts in the use of the term fake news , please permit me to explain. The two camps are using the term in entirely different ways: 1) The original usage by intelligent persons was to describe articles, stories, or reports that had been faked . That is, content making statements that are false, distorted, or often entirely fabricated without any foundational basis whatsoever. Given leverage by social media platforms like Facebook and search engines like Google, and affiliated ad networks, these "fake news" stories have been promulgated for political motives, purely economic motives, and combinations of both. 2) The usage of the term fake news by Donald Dump's moronic, white trash followers and Nazi-loving political sycophants is entirely different.

That, in its essence, is fascism.” It is a warning we would do well to remember. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/feb/02/corporate-dark-money-power-atlantic-lobbyists-brexit https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/feb/02/corporate-dark-money-power-atlantic-lobbyists-brexit?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Google%2B
