Fake news may not be the correct term. Astroturfing? Either way, no need to attack the person asking the question.

- awinder 8y agoFaciciously asking that question is very much an active strategy to downplay & dilute the term. And astroturfing is monied interests dressing up as grassroots. An article in a paper expressing an opinion, accompanied by some body of research, is journalism. I also didn’t really mean that to be attacking, I possibly attributed malice to misunderstanding so if that’s what happened I apologize
- Waterluvian 8y agoNope not being malicious. You're right. This isn't fake news. But it's something. I guess astroturfing fits better!
- econochoice 8y agoIt's called bias.
