Difference between Fake News and Clickbait

'clickbait' is only 'fake news' if you're a moron and think it's 'real news' to start with. Disinformation and propaganda aren't typically 'fake news' they're ome sided renditions, but the side they use tends to be factual.

And conspiracy theories... See point one. Any conspiracy that really exists should be able to be proven in more than 'theory'.

Fake news is complete fabrication intended to deceive, and is really pretty rare ... albeit Gobbels DID say if you're going to tell a lie tell a BIG one, and Colin Powell DID do that when he presented pics of Barrage balloon hydrogen generators as CWD/BW labs. He KNEW what they were even before the company that made them went to the media next day.

The 'litttle Aleppo girl' "Bana" is spreading fake news. Again, a USAID-driven operation. The government. With a media that cannot get anywhere near Aleppo safely just believing it at rote, because it fits the US government's official narrative up to the time of her appearance.

Moral. The government creates the 'fake news' and the media just parrots the 'official story' and is usually indemnified b/c 'official.
