You mean like the MSM? 

I read a good article today in my local paper about the push by conventional outlets to make news 'interesting', and how that's perverted the news business in general.  The author made a good point.  The news is now presented in a style that's more entertaining, by being more pointed.  He argued that they still stuck to the truth, but tended to be more selective than they have been --- sins of omission, I guess.

So is accurate but incomplete news "fake"?  I don't think that's the right word, since we are awash in truly fabricated news.  It's still not what it used to be ... boring and nuanced.  I grew up with the old style news.  I miss it.
