→Too much emphasis on Trump
::Both should be mentioned, but it is true that the liberals started this term. For once, a term has been hijacked in a ''good'' way, but an encyclopedia does need to discus the origin first. --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">David B</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</sup> 11:41, 5 April 2017 (EDT)

:::The main stream media engages in biased reporting, not fake news. The question of whether or not main stream media engages in fake news is not central to the definition. The problem I had with the article as it existed 24 hours ago is that it is not clearly written and leave the reader confused about what fake news is or is not.

::::The mainstream media does promote fake news -- promoting false "facts" and interpretations. The difference between biased reporting and fake news is not as clear-cut as you might think. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 11:50, 5 April 2017 (EDT)
:::(edit conflict) @DavidB4: Fair enough, but I think JDano's changes were too drastic. He removed pretty much all mention of Trump from the intro (while at the same time inserting a mention of "Russian interference" in the intro (possible POV issue as well there). He also moved some paragraphs well-suited for the intro. He also un-bolded very good evidence that fake news mainly comes from liberals. If someone wants to make changes, please keep these points in mind. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 11:47, 5 April 2017 (EDT)
