> Fake news is real, but it's not what Trump says it is. It's also not what this Wired author says it is. === Originally, the term "Fake News" was created by mainstream news organizations (aka old media) to denigrate all competition (legitimate or not) from social media. It was a branding campaign meant to poison the well against outside sources. Trump just turned the language against them, since he benefited from new media. The reality is that the only thing that will work is for individuals to apply critical reading skills and evaluate the content for what it is. Big news brands don't want that, though. They want people to think "real news is us, fake news is them"
