“Fake news” is the newly discovered buzzword of the “anti-intellectual” and drones of the “powerfully stupid.”
It is the word they use to troll if they do not have a counterargument on journalistic facts that does not favor them.
It really is just another way of saying “shut up” to somebody because they got triggered.
So my question or challenge to the news outlets who are accused of being purveyors of “fake news” is to counter those who label them as “fake news” and ask them specifically and point-blank what fake news they are reporting and to literally pin them on the issue.
It is standing up against bullying and exposing those who really need to be in the news and those spreading lies as fact.
