Topic	Fake news sharing in US is a rightwing thing, says study
The Admiral 02/12/18 8:49:57 AM #22:	We've gone over this before when studies have been posted about fake news, but there is not a single accepted definition of what that term even means. And since it's a pop-culture term, the colloquial definition definitely matters. In terms of completely fabricated news -- like conspiracy-type things or total fiction -- I would agree that those are mostly right-leaning. In terms of deliberately slanted and misleading coverage to give a biased view -- which is also how many people use the term 'fake news' -- those are more left-leaning. We have data to show this based on the historically negative coverage of Trump that goes well beyond even the lowest point of his disapproval ratings. --- - The Admiral <cite>The Admiral posted [p:895931903] in Fake news ...
