What's on your mug?

1. Real news that a government official is confident is unlikely to be proven any time soon. 2. Real news that a government official desperately needs to be untrue to save their face.

Dutch journalist: You said the Netherlands has no-go zones, where are they? This is the first we've heard of these over here. US Ambassador to the Netherlands: That's fake news. I never said that. Dutch journalist: OK well we have a clip, roll that footage. (Clip shows the ambassador saying the Netherlands has no-go zones) Dutch journalist: That's fake news, then?

When a person of interest blatantly lies to ur face

Brad: “babe ur so pretty” Liz: “thats fake news.”

By Lizuca

A technique used by dishonest journalists where they exaggerate, sensationalise, slant or cherry pick for the sake of making headlines or propagating a certain agenda (usually) without ever actually lying. Journalists also sometimes cut, rearrange or take out of context what has been said by a spokesperson, sometimes using questions to invoke the desired response. The BBC, NBC and CNN love fake news. It is their bread and butter. Using this term for satirical or alternative news should be avoided as this can dilute its effectiveness in calling out real fake news. Although similar, fake news shouldn’t be confused with misinformation as that refers to the spread of unproven, unreliable or otherwise poorly researched information rather than the purpose driven distortion of facts that is fake news.
