With all that has occurred this week it seems that the term 'F**e News' has once again grown in stature...

With members of both sides constantly bantering the term around one begins to wonder what exactly is meant by the term 'F**e News'...

I ask all members of the OPP to kindly provide their personal definitions... Perhaps, with a greater understanding of one another's positions, a general consensus could be reached as to what constitutes 'F**e News' ...

I dunno. To me, news should be factual and unbiased, as we were taught in journalism 101 back in the day. So I guess f**e news would be news that is NOT factual or unbiased, what used to be called "yellow journalism".

Can we agree on these two definitions?

I.E. - "BuzzFeed’s description of specific statements to the Special Counsel’s Office, and characterization of documents and testimony obtained by this office, regarding Michael Cohen’s Congressional testimony are not accurate," said Peter Carr, a spokesman for Mueller's office.

I think the key element here is "the intent to deceive or manipulate". Someone can be wrong about the facts, but when you intentionally manipulate, lie, or deceive, that to me is the essence of f**e news.

Friend Bob... Thank you...
I believe we discussed this very topic when first we began to build a dialogue/friendship...

Is it your contention that with the absence of Trump 'F**e News' would cease to exist?
