I'm still upset that the phrase "fake news" got co-opted and used to dismiss real news. It started out as a term to describe false ideas that are presented to look like news. Very especially the stuff in the news bar that used to be on the right hand side of FB.

You know, I've often thought about those grocery store tabloids. They're still sold everywhere and I can't help but wonder over the years how many people actually digest them as a primary news source. Maybe that needs to change.
