Can you define the phrase fake news?

@KrackerBash Isn’t that subjective in nature?

@Archtiger No

@KrackerBash No? Brietbart to Trump supporters is journalistic investigation. Consult with Texchick or IStillMissEP. Do you agree with them?

@Archtiger If Brietbart fits the description, it is what it is. People are comforted by their fake news outlets across the political spectrum.

@KrackerBash Thus, it’s subjective. Thank you.

@Archtiger Your post was subjective from the beginning. You clearly got offended by some users I don’t even know and wanted validation to look down on them. Sorry I fell for it.

@KrackerBash Every post is subjective and I’ve always looked down on Trump supporters, that’s nothing new. To take offense would make me no better than them.

@Archtiger News is composed of facts. Facts are not subjective. Never. They exist independently and separately from opinions. The method of journalism - to use the term loosely - the what creates subjectivity.

Is it fake news or subjective that Trump stood up one day and uttered words that were then repeated verbatim? No; that's the description of what actually happened. Now, does CNN's incessant and unwavering coverage of it as evidence of a man's state of mind define objectivity? Not even close. That's the converted hiring a choir to preach right back at them. The facts aren't the issue - it's the context and format in which they're presented that create subjectivity. (The same is true across Fox, Breitbart, Msnbc, Newsmax and others).
