This gives an extra dimension to the term "Fake news".
Not sure I agree. I certainly recall discussing the fact that most reporting of specialist topics in the press was in error, in 1973, long before that phrase became current
This whole idea of "Fake News" seems to me flawed. Reporters, and many others, frequently make the all too human error of telling people what they want to hear, rather than the truth.
Criticism of that tenancy seems easy enough to find in Greek and Roman text, arguably in ancient Indian and Chinese text too. Recent discussion of “Fake News” often seems to me to be itself, by implication, fake news.
Personally, I try to avoind the phrase.
