What is "Fake News" to you?

If anyone saw or read the text from Conservative Jeff Flake's total rebuke today of President Trump on the Senate floor, he talked about "fake news" and its power.

I'm curious about how people define "fake news."

After watching the news for the past few months, all I can gather is that "fake news" (which used to mean stories that were in fact made up and bore no correspondence to how things actually are, e.g. Russian propaganda on facebook) is something right-wingers say when they've been cornered and being dismissive is their only recourse.
