Wouldn't pushing a story that was "neither verified or falsified", be considered "fake news", by some definition?

- threeseed 10y agoFake news means that the story was deliberately made up. Nobody did that in this case. The report was verified to be written by the ex-MI6 spy. The claims in the report are what are yet to be verified.
- mcintyre1994 10y ago"By some definition", sure. I have no idea what the definition of fake news is (I just made a comment saying I have no idea what it is at this point), but I expect that some definitions being used would include buzzfeed yep.
