"Fake news" is a fake concept.  Did it happen, are people talking about it, did they decide to publish it, and people decided to read it and/or comment on it?  Then it's news, whether some people think it is worthy or not.  To me, real "fake news" is a completely made-up, fact-free story (because it didn't happen.)  Somehow, some goofballs bastardized the meaning, co-opting it into judgment and whether a negative assessment of a news piece meant that the piece shouldn't exist at all.  Pretty bogus, in my humble opinion.  Face it, we don't really control what gets published, and it's our choice whether to consume it or not.  And what is worthy of publishing  and/or reading is a subjective, variable perspective.
