There are others but these should be readily recognized...
Who decides what’s fake news and what isn’t?’

When you consider what comprises fake news… do you ponder, for example, reports that there were weapons of mass destruction? Or is that flawed news? Lionel, legal and media analyst discusses the matter with RT.
The term “fake news” once used by US President Donald Trump has become a well-known term. It even might make its way into a dictionary. On Sunday night the CBS 60 Minutes program looked into the issue.
RT: What are your thoughts on the way they covered fake news?
Lionel: First of all, this has nothing to do with fake news, this is about censorship. This is a label that is being used, which ultimately seeks to quash…and to stop any voices – whether it is alternative, foreign, citizen journalism – anything that they consider to be not real. I am a lawyer and I love the definitions. What is ‘fake?’ ‘Fake’ versus ‘wrong,’ versus ‘erroneous,’ versus ‘exaggerated,’ versus ‘negligence’ – I don’t know. What you’re seeing right now was ultimately: there is going to be a move to have censorship algorithms; to have filters put on every conceivable aspect that you enjoy. When you go to enjoy, what we consider to be unfettered access to the internet. People like Facebook, they will start off with Facebook and Twitter. They can pick up somebody such auspicious and well-known organizations to filter the truth like Snopes or PolitiFact. And you one day type something, and it will reject it. After all we’ll say: “This is fake.” Who gets to decide what that is?
What is also amazing: when you consider what is fake news is, shall we consider, for example, reports that there were weapons of mass destruction? Or is that wrong news? I don’t mean to be persnickety about definitions, but it means a lot. When you also consider the fact that this country starting in the 1950’s, the Operation Mockingbird utilized the CIA to work hand in hand with mainstream media to conduct, to carve, and to create specific news also known as propaganda. Do you know the irony of having some of the same people today call for this purging of fake news? This is some of the most dangerous stuff that we as American citizens have ever been presented. When you see 60 minutes presenters, people then are going to say: “Yes, get rid of the fake news.” Who decides?
RT: We’re not just talking about news that might be wrong, we are talking about news that is being put to the public that looks like it comes from a credible media organization, and its purpose is really to fool the public. Do you support the liberty of being able to promote, spread and disseminate fake news?
L: Absolutely. The First Amendment of the Constitution deals with an unfettered ability for you and me and citizens to put out what we like. Now I may call a parody. If you go back and look sometimes at what these folks consider to be fake news, it was parody and satire…That was misunderstood. How dare anybody tell me what is real and what is not. Here is what we do. If we don’t like a particular site … then what they do is they go elsewhere, or complain, or sue if there is liable, slander, defamation, or any kind of defamatory statement. But to have somebody come in a priori through some type of initial form of censorship, some prior restraint and to cut off somebody’s ability to speak because they have been tattooed or labeled as purveyors of fake news. This goes to the very essence of what freedom of speech is. Who is it who decides what fake and what is not?

It's really up to each individual to decide for themselves what constitutes "Fake News." If you haven't begun yet, here's a small list of FAKE NEWS sites to get you started: CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNBC, The New York Times, Politico, The Hill, The Washington Post, NPR, The New Yorker, The New Republic, The Daily Beast, Breitbart News, PBS, Alex Jones, Bloomberg, Forbes, The Economist, The Huffington Post and, ironicaly, 60 Minutes.
The concept of "fake news" was designed by American tycoon Hearst, who promoted War against Spain in the 1890s, above all after the explosion inside the "Maine" ship in Havana, leading to the Spanish-American War, which meant for Spain the lost of the last colonies in the Americas (Cuba, Puerto Rico) and Asia (Philipines, Guam).
Fake news is anything that upsets or exposes the crimes of the Left.
For starters, real news should be factual and objective as possible. That alone would do wonders for everyone. People shouldn't be fooled... 'news' is pretty much entertainment and as often as they skew stories, it could be considered hollywood. When profits and control are in question, then, we all know the complete truth will not be in the forefront.
The sad thing is so many people take what the media, tv, news says as truth without any question rather than actually thinking, because that would require putting in effort to research and learn the real truth. So long as we let others tell us what the truth is, then we can be misled.
Columbus, Spanish jew, was given the maps, went down in his story as a hero. Fake news. Watch Nik Research on you tube. Start to see what has happened, who is behind it all.
The people need to take responsibility for their education, and do some research, and find out who is tell the truth. Those who are not telling the truth are fake news, so stop watching them or going to their site.
We develop "judgement" early on, ie. don't eat toxic weeds when you're in the garden alone as a 2yr old, although we're then told in schools-of-thought-policing, not to be judgemental. I towed that line for years, then realised how stupendously damaging to my otherwise well-honed instincts it was, and most, if not all of my serious woes were due to that force-fed 'forgive all'- turn the other cheek- don't judge- BS. So now I'm honest with myself, and judge as harshly as if my life depended on it. Because it does.

You know what irony is? Studies have shown conclusive proof that the less intelligent you are, the more likely you are to have conviction in your own beliefs and opinions, and the less likely you are to explore information and be objective.
Information consists of facts or data that can be verified. Half-truths, untruths and modified facts are means of propaganda and a tool for persuasion, therefore, not intended for transmitting facts in its original form. It can be called also fake news.
I feel you want to know anything and everything about fake news, start at CNN, then meander over to msnbc. When you're done there, take a stroll to CBS, ABC, and NBC. By the time you're done you'll know more than you ever wanted to know about fake news.
Western MSM or western governments do nothing but spread propaganda and tell lies 24/7 to advance whatever their agenda is.
Agreed 100%. Our His Story is totally made up by the Joo-know-who's, and with digital tech., they change the past to alter the future every day to match their insane agenda. Read the zigh-on protocols, sin agog of sat an and watch nik research on you tube. Download it for the future. Pass it on.
