Fake News, with broad strokes.

I should like to note the dangers of false news, many crow on social-media about a statist that turns-out to be inaccurate, a quote that has lost some context, or a picture or video clip that is used in a report that seems to be misplaced.  The social media reactionaries think this makes a news report fake, yet they use the idea of fake news to insert totally incorrect claims.  News reporting errors in action and judgement occur, largely this is benign, and one should not dismiss the artist for one misplaced stroke of the brush upon the canvas.
