US President Donald Trump has unveiled a new term for some media outlets, swapping ‘fake news’ for ‘artificial news’. “I used to call them the fake news, but as president I have to be a little more respectful of the media than that, so now I call them the artificial news,” Mr Trump said. ​“I took artificial off of the word intelligence. ​“Artificial means fake, so I call them the artificial media.”
