Ultimately, a judgement about fake news rests on the reputation of its author and the reputation of the editorial stance of news organizations or book publishers views. Longevity is not in and of itself proof a publication or publishing house is an established reputable service. ''Newsweek'' magazine for instance, was once established as a "moderate" or right-leaning weekly news source to counter the percieved leftwing bias of ''Time'' magazine. It had since ceased publication as a print magazine and the name - ''Newsweek'' - was sold as an established, existing tradename, only to reappear as an online news source of some of the most outrageous left wing lunacy.
