Of those, only the first two qualify as "fake news", i.e. false news. To claim that "real news" do not contain the rest is ludicrous.

  You made my point, that the definition of "fake news" is undefined. Pretty much anything can be pointed at and yelled "Fake News". And that's what we're seeing.

    Fake news is news that is fake -- aka entirely fabricated with no basis in reality. "13 Obama supporters arrested for terrorist plot"-- boom, just made that up. That's fake news. Anything with a basis in reality is not.

      I think you're being a bit literal, fake news is just a modern name for propaganda and you can do it without lying simply by not telling the whole truth to mislead people. Misleading biased news is fake news even if no facts are wrong if they've clearly left out relevant and necessary facts that don't support the agenda.
