Comments: With regard to fake news : Why? and So what?
My Pappy used to say, "Them as gits suckered in by fake news are natural-born suckers, will always be natural-born suckers, and deserve everything they get.

Fake news? You mean it's not propaganda or improperganda? Whatever happened to respectable lies, obfuscations, and pristine BS?
Will the term 'fake news' become the new mot de jour? Will it be 'iconic' or 'paradigmatic?'
Will Orwell turn over in his grave or in someone else's grave? If we laugh happily in a grave, is it less grave?
I have more questions, but the sedation is taking effect.

If the mainstream media, that has been putting out fake news for decades, says another organization is putting out fake news does that mean they are really putting out real news?
It's all so confusing.
Glad I stopped watching that stuff in the 90's.
More and more everything is becoming untrustworthy.

It's not the fake news. It's the interpreted news that is so deadly.

I seem to be having issues distinguishing between riddles and serious questions of late, whereas what is news about fake news considered?
