Content: 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. Fake news may be accidental, intentional, or somewhere in between. An entire news outlet isn’t necessarily “fake news” because it posted an incorrect or false story. Mistakes do happen, and often, journalists who make an oversight or accidentally publish false information apologize, retract, and try to rectify the situation. In our polarized democracy, people have very different opinions about what constitutes fake news. AllSides rates media bias and has developed a media bias chart to help you identify a variety of perspectives.
