yes indeed, i’m talking about the second definition, and as much as you may disagree with that, it’s even in the dictionary (i checked the very same one before making my point), as you just illustrated yourself, and so it is what it is, and it is indeed a meme
since when is an obvious fake-news story, a joke, an actual news story?
Has this been reported as news by any actual news outlet?
you’re actually arguing that anything reported, regardless of the form it takes, its intention, or the authenticity of what is said is “news”
in that case, Chrono.gg is a news outlet, cuz it reports on a new game deal every day
and in that case, every single twitter account is also a news outlet, as well as every facebook page and everything else online, cuz all it takes for that is that they have “reported something new”
