Who determines what fake news is? What guidelines determine an article is fake?

If the contents within the article are not accurate it's fake news.

But I’m saying who determines what is not accurate. An example this article shows that any comparison to Jim Crow in Georgia voting is false. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/poll-shows-0-black-voters-had-poor-voting-experience-november-despite-biden-claim-jim-crow-2-0. So any any articles claiming it’s Jim Crow is fake news

Are you asking if you can have subjective opinion and different perspectives? I mean of course. That's what makes articles worth while for humans to read and write. If not, it's a debate which makes it very hard to make all of your points without interjections.

For example a bridge might not be a good idea for nature or residents. But it may be essential for millions of people in other cities to live. Neither side is inaccurate. You just can't use false information.

False is inaccurate with no factual basis.

Out of context words

Misused quotes

Bad numbers

There is always margin for error or human mistake. But you can understand the difference of a misspelled name vs a person claiming someone stated something and they weren't involved.

I don't know why this seems difficult to understand.

Good point. So what do you say about Georgia’s election laws being Jim Crow 2.0? This recent facts prove that it is not and did not keep any minorities from voting. More minorities voted in this past election than anytime before.

I apologize I have not followed the story closely enough. If I could probe questions I could give a better idea of my personal perspective.

I understand on these topics there is more than one point of view and more than one agenda.

What are the claims on why it's preventing people from voting?

As for the rise. It's only logical with greater access to transportation, greater advancement in technology and the world that more people percentage wise would vote. Population is still on the rise for the age group to vote. So the number should be up. I'm not sure how far up the numbers are and how far down the claims are.

What I'd assume with my ignorance of the sides.

Laws made things more difficult and removed the ability for some to vote. Yet there was still a higher turnout.

This could be a simple, more people care thing. People could be trying harder. But I have to admit I'm an idiot in this area. I try to stay away from politics as I believe both sides have serious flaws.

That’s my whole point most articles are basically opinions. Anyone can take an article and some will say it’s fake news some will say its facts. If it fits their narrative then it’s fact. If it doesn’t it’s fake new.

I think we would be more or less agreeing and our misunderstanding is the term fake news. Their definition of fake news is subjective and opinionated. Which means they are using the terms incorrectly. That's more of an understanding and education issue.

No it’s not an education issue. It’s human nature with all kinds of educational levels. People read something end try to make it fit their narrative. If it doesn’t it’s fake news or ignored all together.
