Personally speaking: family, friends, and coworkers have long equated the "Fake News" label with the pap put out by mainstream media monopolies, and, the agendas pushed by trendy social networking corporations. Many of the people included this cohort are working class democrats and self avowed "liberals".

I find it odd that some think the problem with "fakeness" in news reporting is being caused by anything but monopolies over media outlets; curating sources and blacklisting hardly seems a solution. Try antitrust.
