Calling news you do not like "fake news"


Fake news is NOT news you disagree with.

(Although some, like a former president, try to make that the case)

If one calls news "fake news" but freely quotes things like...

Breitbart

-http://rw-infopedia.pbworks.com/w/page/117406029/Breitbart%20News#ConspiracytheoriesaboutPresidentObama
-http://rw-infopedia.pbworks.com/w/page/117406029/Breitbart%20News#WrongLorettaLynch

Or...

The Gateway Pundit

-http://rw-infopedia.pbworks.com/w/page/145537119/The%20Gateway%20Pundit#Recordofmisidentifyingperpetratorsofshootingsandterrorattacks

Then they should be asked to get additional verification, find the people quoted, get more sources, and be told that the sites in question are not reliable.
