In general I agree with you AC Gold that using a label to dismiss an idea is lazy.
I think though in the case of the recount my clarification was reasonable. The reason people are funding a recount is not based on a reasonable interpretation of the facts. Where in that case I was using the buzz word fake news it was to criticize the left for being just as willing to embrace facts that suit their naritive rather than to review what is most likely.
I do think buzzwords have their place and Inthink it is to resolve the freeman on the land problem. When the bull#### is piled high and wide and the person on the other side of the debate is misinformed with no interest in reviewing that position than dismissing their arguments using buzzwords is reasonable.
