  Can we stop calling propaganda "fake news"?

    why? propaganda is kinda hard to spell.

      Really? Prop-a-gan-da. It's spelled exactly how it sounds. The term "fake news" is borderline infantile. Maybe we should just redirect en.wikipedia.org to simple.wikipedia.org. Hey, it's simpler right? In fact, let's phase out English from public discourse and all restrict ourselves to Ogden's Basic English. We'll have to rename "fake news" though, 'fake' isn't on that list. It's now "false news."

  I thought many were unknowingly sharing or creating based on prior false news stories
