This is why even NYT lost is reputation and credibility. It can't help itself not take the Democrats' side.

Calling it "election hacking" could very well fit into some definitions of "fake news". Will Facebook ban this article now?

This is a good example of why "banning fake news" is a terrible idea, because we don't know whose definition of "fake news" will be implemented. It's also very difficult to pinpoint exactly what fake news is or what is the "optimum percentage" of falseness in an article before it deserves a ban...and so on and so forth.
