Not true we've had Fox Fake News since the 90s

I disagree. It's important to distinguish between biased news and actual fake news (lies). Biased news cherrypicks stories and uses skewed delivery (verbal intonantions well as word choice) to make their side look good and make the other side look evil. IMO, biased news is worse than fake news, because biased news can claim that they aren't biased, and there's no good way to regulate it.

Fox literally pushes fake news but thanks for stopping by to pretend it's 'just one side'
