Yeah, sure, the fact that many journalists are consistently choosing to publish blatant lies, propaganda and click-bait garbage are all the fault of their readers, the Internet or maybe "capitalism". But not the journalists themselves.

Only on HN (or, I suppose, The_Donald) -- comment claiming that "many journalists are consistently choosing to publish blatant lies, propaganda and click-bait garbage" (about headline that is 100% accurate) sits high. My comment disagreeing is flagged.

Sad!

>Only in every case it ends up being completely accurate.

What I've noticed, anecdotally, is that Fake News is screamed at me when the story is accurate, but isn't parsed like a legal document.

So "Jim said he would kill all the sparrows" is the headline, but because Jim said "he would kill every sparrow" and not literally "all" the sparrows, FAKE NEWS.

It's absolutely infuriating.
