@Affable
What would you personally define as "fake news"?
Spurious reportage?
A deliberate mismanagement of facts?
An avoidance spin to deflect from the truth?
Fairy tales?
Journalistic gaslighting?

It is quite simple for me. Any news that is fake would be considered fake news in my opinion. Constant lies etc. Regardless of behaviour and intention.

As for fairytales, I wouldn't go calling Cinderella and Snow White fake news. More so fiction.
 
But what is fake for the news listener may not be fake to the news deliverer.
Facts can be black and white. But facts can be twisted to fit a context.
Its perspective. So our own self-beliefs largely dictate the fakeness surely?
Since we all know pure factual reportage is a fairy tale in our modern age.
The age of agenda being more important than truth.
Sorry. Just babbling and having a few liquid truths.🙂
 
What is your favourite meal?

That's tricky. I would have to say fish and chips because my local shop does a stellar job.

True but when news services twist the facts to suit their own views, then that's where the problem occurs.
Look at Trump for example. He does so much good and the fake news twists everything to put it into a negative. He can't win with them. Lol.
 
What is your favourite meal?
If I was to have a last meal on death row, it would be a huge banquet.
Covering all the tastes and favourites of 10 of my best friends which would have to be mandatorily invited as per my last request.
Then, in the ensuing gorging, inviting the guards in to partake, my swat team of mates would spring me from my impending death and I would lead them all to the closest KFC from death row and happily ask the Colonel to take my money as a thank you to my compadres for allowing me freedom and the chance to explore more culinary adventures without the threat of death.
 
Ali Oetjen inspired me to believe that this is a great attitude to have in life.
The fuzz/dude abides.

Yeah, I love Hot and Spicy KFC too.

I would hope you would be in my posse. My gang. MY CLIQUE.
And we could always venture to Subway if you would prefer after the great escape.😊
Subway might offer more means to escape successfully.
