“Fake news” is news that is deliberately untrue - entirely fabricated stories - in order to attract clicks (for advertising revenue) or to change or muddle public opinion.

Applying it to an article that a person thinks is incorrect based on a sample size of themselves only surves to muddy the meaning of the term.



Aye yeah sorry it was a little joke.
