False News.
Revising Leftist terminology misses the mark IMO. Go for the jugular and stick with what it is in plain English. The Left hates plain English.
It’s LIES and the Left are LIARS.
“False News” is a term close enough to the “Fake News” idea to give the Left “wiggle room.”
“Fake news” implies a subjective opinion about what’s being said. Gives them “wiggle room” which they’re always looking for (because they’re snakes). “Fake news” can be argued based on personal opinion about relevancy, professionalism, etc.
A published LIE is an objective standard comparing what was said with the facts. A lie isn’t based on personal opinion but whether what was published as true was actually an objective fact. What happens in a court of law regardless of personal opinion. The Left does not want people to go there. Actually has something to do with the truth, something the Left wants nothing to do with.
We should judge the Lying Left and their Media Minions based on the standard of published LIES, not on their standard of “fake news” or a hybrid thereof.
