Over the last few months, we've talked about the weird obsession some people upset by the results of the election have had with the concept of "fake news." We warned that focusing on "fake news" as a problem was not just silly and pointless, but that it would quickly morph into calls for censorship. And, even worse, that censorship power would be in the hands of whoever got to define what "fake news" was.

Didn't our (newly minted) best friends in Russia once have a state-run newspaper called Pravda, Russian for "truth"?
I heard that somewhere too, but I think that statement turned out to be fake news. Remember, you heard it here first!
