Fake news is an important problem, especially for democracies, where what people think to be true affects who is making decisions on how they can live, and what international diplomacy policies are enacted.

It's not a point of semantics to object to the dilution the meaning of the phrase by continually claiming "true reporting that I disagree with the conclusions of" is fake news. Because that hobbles discussion of some of the most serious issues of our time.
