We have a majority of like thinking folks here and they see through the words and find the meaning and know what to believe and what to discard.
It has been erroneously called "Fake News" by someone we all know who is not as articulate as others.
What it is, is OPINION instead of factual reporting that irritates most thinking people these days. And what is chosen to present in the news and what is left out.
The wonderful thing is that having lived a long time, most older people can sift through the missing or hyped information, and enjoy living in this country which is in an economic good place that gives jobs to those who seek them and puts us all in a better place. Words are words, but a paycheck puts food on the table of the hungry.
Articulate talk is often a way to get some folks to drop their drawers as we all know. Who knew such lack of something like smooth phrases could serve us well?

Your use of the word ARTICULATE caught my attention.
I did a bit of research on what the word you used a number of times actually means.
Interesting that no definitions mention lying, simply an inability to speak fluently.
So, how do you explain away lying ?
Worth a conversation because fake news seems to be, to some, not related in any way to articulation, but actually what is a lie and what is not. When in the service or working, everyone avoided liars, but learned to understand those who articulated poorly. It was easy to tell the difference.
