Content: This type of fake news refers to journalism that covers stories that don’t deserve to be news, or journalism that ignores stories that should be big news. Examples: Media Research Center (Right media bias) said that mainstream media outlets provided six times more coverage for a story about a white supremacist endorsing Trump while downplaying a story about the Taliban-supporting father of a terrorist endorsing Hillary Clinton. In January 2019, Media Matters for America (Left media bias) said Fox News’ top three prime-time shows and its flagship morning program, Fox & Friends, ignored a report that President Donald Trump “sat down with Vladimir Putin for several minutes of conversation at the end of an evening event at the G20 summit in Buenos Aires in November, with no translator or note-taker from the US side to record the dialogue.” Media Matters said Left-biased sources MSNBC and CNN “both spent significant time discussing the report.” Broad Disagreements Over Whether CNN is Fake News
There is broad disagreement as to what ought to be referred to as “fake news” in general. Many Left-leaning mainstream media outlets, including CNN, MSNBC, and The New York Times, often use a more narrow, literal definition of “fake news” — referring to purely fictional, made-up information. However, media outlets and people on the Right and the Far Left often use a broader definition of “fake news” to describe media coverage that is overly biased, deceptive, or manipulative. They believe that established media powers are employing bias, failing to do good-faith research, and lacking credibility — amounting to “fake news.” And yet, people from all all sides of the political spectrum — Left and Right —have noted that sometimes, the term “fake news” is used to discredit anyone or anything someone disagrees with or doesn’t like.
