'Fake News' is not an 'alternative'. It's literally fake.

'Pope endorses Trump' - fake.

'Trump molested three children from Texas' - fake.

'Americans invade Canada' - fake.

There's a problem with 'actual fake news' not just 'biased news'.

CNN - despite it's bias - is still mostly a decent news site.

Go to CNN.com, Fox.com, MSNBC.com - and look at ALL of the links. It's mostly just boring, factual news.

I acknowledge that. The problem is that at the fringes there's news that will be labeled as fake by some and not others. If that stuff gets censored that's a huge problem to me, to the point that I'll accept the clearly fake news, while we think of a better way to deal with it.
