摘要
What is fake news?Where did it come from and why is it so profitable?In this essay I consider whether fake news is a new thing,or simply a newly-popular name for methods of deceit that have existed for centuries.I explore the idea that it is simply a popular recognition of an increasingly fractious1relationship between the news media and the segments of the general public who interact with it.I look at the ongoing Brexit2 negotiations and the Trump administration before offering some reasons to try to be cheerful about all of this.
