You don't get to redefine fake news. I'm a huge fan of real journalism, and the ethics and integrity behind it. When journalists fail those ethics and report things they haven't vetted, that is not news, it's fake news.

"Fake news website" !== "Fake news" and Wikipedia is not the arbiter of all truth either.
