I don't think it was ridiculous to begin with (neither was "terrorism") but it's ridiculous now.

I would define "fake news" as news published by people who know what they're publishing is false. My feeling is that either there were more of those kinds of articles floating around this past election or they were more visible.

You might just call it clickbait, but "fake news" didn't seem like an inapt descriptor until it started being applied to everything someone disagrees with.

Would you also consider it news the publisher knows mislead, even if there’s a grain of truth?
