Hot-button topic "fake news" is going to be the downfall of the internet. All over the world, governments are trying to tackle the non-issue by introducing harmful legislation that will only result in increased direct control of the press by the governments passing these bills. "Fake news" defies definition. It could be read to encompass satire and parody. It could also cover legitimate news that deals with subject matter certain people don"t like. That"s pretty much how it"s been defined by the party in power here: whatever Donald Trump doesn"t like is deemed "fake news" by the Commander in Chief, even if the news is based on factual events and credible statements.
