My point was that fake news can affect politics, even if "a lie is a lie."   I said nothing about new or old. Perhaps you inserted an impression that I did in there.

Unless I have claimed that fake news is new, I don't see why I should respond to an argument that it is not new.

Thus I am unable to address your point about a point I didn't make.
