Yes

We need to stop using the ignorant term "fake news." There's already a word for fake news - it's called propaganda

propaganda isn't blatantly fake, is it?

If it was real it wouldn't be propaganda

propaganda can be real while still misleading. some of this stuff is blatantly false though.

It's still propaganda

it's also fake news. my point is that they're not the same thing.

Fake news is a made up word with no formal definition.

Propaganda already fills the need for a word to describe the intent of "fake news." So why use a made up term when one already exists?
