I don't use facebook. Most MSM is bullshit so i don't understand what "fake news" even means. Can someone please provide a few links for reference? Are we talking about the extremely outlandish things like:

Obama just ordered a covert strike force to start taking peoples guns

Or are we talking about factually inaccurate reporting?



I'm not sure whether you're a fan of the Huffington Post or not, but this seems like a nice list of examples of what people are up in arms about. Yes, it's the egregiously fake stuff, not media spin/bias.

Of course, if you don't trust HuffPo, you could always theorize that they fabricated those ;)


Stuff like this site which tries to look like abc but isn't: http://abcnews.com.co

But also lots of no name websites reporting both conspiracy theories and false info
