Can we stop using the term "fake news"? (pizzagate)

submitted ago by IUsedToLikePizza

Why don't we call it what it really is? Propaganda. Calling it "fake news", at least to me, takes away the gravity of what it is: a disinformation campaign by the government and news corporations trying to indoctrinate American citizens.

I only use it to mock the MSM. Don't take away one of the few things that still brings me pleasure.

Couldn't agree more, this is going to make for some great memes.

Seconded! I use it to troll MSM...plus the more we use it, the less power it holds. Like the n/f/d words. (D is Democrat)

Oh God, please don't tell me it actually holds power for some people? As a Canadian I never have to see a Hillary shill in the wild so I'very just been pretending that that don't actually exist.

Haha, well I suppose if it's being used ironically then I actually understand. Admittedly that may have gone over my head and I thought people here were using the term seriously. Carry on then!
