→Too much emphasis on Trump
:1) Use of bold italic in that manner is not consistent with our style manual. I can see it used for exceptionally important points in very long articles or to put one or two words in bold for clarity, but this particular use comes across a desperate and not persuasive.

:2) The largest fabricators of fake news have been the Russians. Many fake news IP addresses resolve to Russia. As we note, this was a documented problem with the Netherlands elections before the 2016 US elections.[[User:JDano|JDano]] ([[User talk:JDano|talk]]) 12:06, 5 April 2017 (EDT)

I think that we now have a version that reflects everyone's concerns. Fake news is a very bad practice by Russians and people trying to profit from click bait. Fake news stories are designed to appeal to either liberals or conservatives. The response of both have been included as well as some examples of fake news.
I don't believe that President Trump is central to the fake news controversy, and the "fake news" controversy was recognized before the 2016 Presidential campaign. I think that this version would be helpful to a homeschooled high school student seeking to read up about the topic. Thanks, [[User:JDano|JDano]] ([[User talk:JDano|talk]]) 14:31, 5 April 2017 (EDT)
