Do people take the 'fake news' claims seriously? Even here in HN?
- compcoffee 8y ago>Do people take the 'fake news' claims seriously? "Fake news" is now an argument against anything you disagree with. Trump pioneered the strategy, but now even Elon Musk is doing it.
- tomrod 8y agoYes. Clarity is important.
- Larrikin 8y agoActive measures show up on here, this is a pretty big forum with a larger than average number of influential users after all. But typically those posts are down voted pretty quickly.

Another ny times post got flagged this morning after receiving 25 points in an hour for god knows what reason (i thought it was an interesting read): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17302371 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17302371
