Yes, I prefer the term "rumor". But maybe that is not persuasive enough, hence the emphasis using "fake".

- jerkstate 8y agoI prefer the phrase "According to people familiar with their thinking"
- code_duck 8y ago‘Unsubstantiated’ or ‘speculative’ would be fairly neutral
- code_duck 8y agoWhere do you envision that term being applied exactly? It would make sense if the term was only leveled against specific news that is not based on openly verifiable fact. However, some individuals use it to refer to entire news organizations, seemingly ones that oppose their views, while not applying it to other organizations that clearly have the same or lower standards for verifiability.
