→Propaganda vs. fake news
::::JDano's definition amounts to ''a pejorative term aim at non-professional and alternative news reporting'' which stands on contrast to real news - the mainstream media. All media need a source of revenue (unless you are PBS, BBC, or RT) clickbait is no different than 30 or 60 second ad on broadcast media, and does not in itself impugn the content.

:::::That is not correct. "Fake news" is news items that are fabricated for the purpose of click-bait or page views. For example, we can write an article to clearly define the animal "rat." Later, a politician calls another person a "rat." We would not expand the article to define a rat as meaning either an animal or a politician that you do not like. Although all media need a source of revenue, there is a difference between fake news organizations and organizations that adhere to journalism standards. (I believe that many "alternative news organizations" adhere to such standards.) [[User:JDano|JDano]] ([[User talk:JDano|talk]]) 21:14, 6 April 2017 (EDT)

:::::::Click bait is no different than a "teaser" headline in print or "we'll be right back after this message" in broadcast. It's a 21st medium, nothing more. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|''CIA v Trump updated score'':CIA 3, Trump 2]]</sup> 03:23, 7 April 2017 (EDT)
