Alas we are not supposed to use that term anymore:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/its-time-to-retire-the-tainted-term-fake-news/2017/01/06/a5a7516c-d375-11e6-945a-76f69a399dd5_story.html?utm_term=.363d0eaa0da4 https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/its-time-to-r...
Also somehow CNN shows in the front page of result for "fake news" image search on Google. It wouldn't be totally wrong, depending on how the term is defined.
- komali2 10y agoProbably because the trump subreddit does that super annoying "Upvote this post so that people see CNN when they search for fake news!" thing every few weeks.
- necessity 10y agoFact: 99% of "fake news website" classifications are in fact false.
- rdtsc 10y agoIs that "fake news" ;-) Heh, I think need an explicit meta-fake news category.
- billfor 10y agoProbably because the washington post has gotten caught enough times writing fake news: http://www.forbes.com/sites/kalevleetaru/2017/01/01/fake-news-and-how-the-washington-post-rewrote-its-story-on-russian-hacking-of-the-power-grid/ http://www.forbes.com/sites/kalevleetaru/2017/01/01/fake-new...
