Basically, "fake news" happen when the messenger adds their color to the content. It's activist journalism. It's "the President issued an executive order" vs "the President, in a Hitler-like move, issued an executive order" Journalism was needed because people wanted to know what happened across the globe. Citizen reporting on twitter, Periscope, and YouTube erased that need. Journalists also didn't help themselves last year by being completely one sided. People noticed that. "Fake news" is the journalism's last attempt to save itself. It's already dead from self inflicted wounds.
