Both a) and b) are good points. I would like to see how Newsguard defines 'fakes news'. It seems to be a nuanced term that will have different views and definitions depending on who you ask. "Fake news" the term may be newly popularized, but it's not a new concept. It seems implicitly difficult to judge 'news' because news is not always first-hand, so there is no way of exactly chronicling what happened without directly experiencing the source of the news. There's an inherent perception/reality dilemma based on our own cognition and processing of events. Fake news could be established in different ways, and gets harder to judge the more nuanced it gets, partially when the events are being reported and re-reported using secondary or tertiary sources.
