Fake News is a popular phrase today. You might think that Fake News was a creation of President Trump. That itself would be fake news.

With a free press, a French philosopher, mathematician, and political scientist, Marquis de Condorcet, predicted that a free press would advance knowledge and create a more informed public. President John Adams disagreed saying “There has been more new error propagated by the press in the last ten years than in an hundred years before 1798."
