What we disagree on - amongst other things - is the definition. The left wants to own the definition of "fake news" so that they can use it as both a term of art and political convenience. In other words they want to make it up as they go along, particularly when there's a story that doesn't align with their chosen narrative. And then they want to own the "filter" that "protects us" from "fake news".
Nothing new here, really. Freedom of speech and freedom of the press have been under attack both abroad and in this country for ages. Fake news is simply another flavor.
