    I wouldn’t call it “fake news.” It’s just someone’s opinion or interpretation of events. Sometimes it’s true, sometimes misunderstood, and yeah, sometimes it’s complete bunk, but at the end of the day- it’s not news. It’s someone’s opinion of the news.

    And the reason it’s dangerous, is seen with conservative leaning sources that submit op-ed pieces as “news.” The Cletuses believe it- and suddenly we have weather men getting death threats, and lynch mobs murdering innocent people of color because they chose to jog on the wrong night.
