> [@ItsJody](#): > > Lol so the fake news media can bend the story? What is the definition of fake news media? I understand the tabloid news which one sees checking out at the market. That is sensational crap to sell paper to people, hopefully for amusement only. But the “fake news media”? That’s a broad term. Could someone provide a list of this media and explain what makes it fake? Seattle Times has been around for over 100 years and has won Pulitzer Awards . Pulitzer Awards are not given for false reporting. ---

> [@Capt\_Phoenix](#): > > Anything Trump supporters don’t agree with is “fake news”. Not exactly. According to what I recently learned the term has been used for over 100 years by yellow journalists and conspiracy promotors. The Trump folks just made the term popular. Its a way to deflect attention from facts. A friend of mine, retired from an intelligence service, explained the claim of fake news is great for dividing a country’s citizens which makes the country more vulnerable and less able to mount a defense. I thought that was funny as back in the day we could recognize BS and propaganda. His reply? You didn’t have Facebook, Youtube etc . A lot of people believe BS nowadays simply because they see it on a computer or cell phone. Imagine a country who only reads tabloids then multiply that by a few million ---

> [@tengineer1](#): > > the term has been used for over 100 years That may be but the only time I heard the term before Trump was referring to literal “fake news” when people (usually conservatives) would share a satire article and people would have to point out to them that it’s fake. ---

Yes, I also thought it was a recent term. I find it amusing. Sooner or later everyone wil be accussing the other of fake news. ---
