I hate the term "fake news". It's a buzzword, that seems to have been concocted to make normies dismiss anyone that uses it. The proper word is propaganda. EG: CNN is a propaganda outlet for the DNC.
It was concocted by leftists immediately after their 2016 election loss, in order to get tighter control over alternative news outlets. Unfortunately for them, the term didn't catch on as well as they wanted, and the whole thing kind of blew up in their face.
Of course, they did manage to clamp down on alternative news outlets just by having their buddies at big tech go full totalitarianism, so they're still winning.
I honestly think sites like CNN prefer being called "fake news". Although I suspect the NPCs that still follow the likes of CNN won't be swayed, regardless of what anyone calls them.
Fair enough. I guess I overstated it when I said I hated the phrase. I'd just prefer people use what I consider to be a more correct term. Ultimately as long as people know what you mean, it should be fine.
