Too convenient and the term can be way subjective.

"fake news" for who? For the Chinese government?

For the company that denies that their new phone explodes?

This is getting very ugly



it's "fake" for whoever pays or can influence the most.

Beyond his somewhat hyperbolic list of "fake news" criteria, he's not wrong (although he's being a bit indelicate). Not sure why you would immediately assume his comment was in bad faith.


This sort of comment actually vindicates my stand. Whatever I said was sarcastic, perfectly civil and closer to facts yet (what I believe to be) a reasonable person like you downvoted, flagged and attributed motives.
