Can we decide on a definition of "fake news"

Asking questions like this, according to some at work, makes me a liberal.

Whatever.

I reply with, "I just want to make sure we're all talking about the same thing and using the same definition."


To me, there's two definitions:
1) Fake news!
Onion type of stuff.
"Trump fires Stephen Hawking. No longer with everybody's favorite disabled physicist make "appearances" on our radios to warn us about impending bad weather." Stuff like that.

2) An item you disagree with.
Pres. Trump type of stuff.
"You can trust CNN! I had more people at my inauguration than any president ever! They are fake news!"
