"You know, I think I'm going to quit social media."

"No you're not. But why do you say so?"

"Half of my friends are arguing with the other half about 'fake news'."

"Arguing? It's just the usual thing, then."

"Don't you think fake news is a problem?"

"Nah. They're just making that stuff up."

"C'mon, be serious. It's a real problem."

"No it isn't. It CAN'T be, by DEFINITION."

"How can you say that it isn't a problem?"

"Because people don't need to make up things to argue about. There's plenty of REAL things to argue about."

"That's true... maybe."
