What's the difference between satire and fake news?

Intent.

I agree. And it’s usually rather obvious.

Satire – Saturday Night Live skits about Trump.
Fake news – a news outlet claiming Hillary Clinton is involved in a pizza parlor child pornography ring.

I believe the difference is that satire is a method of communication in which human folly and vice are held up to scorn, derision, or ridicule.

Fake news is that wihich I either disagree with or am unwilling to accept because it is put out with the express purpose of discounting or discrediting the facts that I hold to be true.

One is humorous the other malicious and it should be clear which is which. The problem is distinguishing fake news from real.

Satire these days tends to be much closer to the truth than mainstream corporate news, which tends to be largely fake.

Satire is understood to be non-factual. Fake news is attempting to deceive people into believing lies.

Almost anything published by the Onion is satire yet I am astonished how many people repost their articles thinking they are real.

Satire doesn’t spread lies and propaganda. It criticises, sometimes even openly mocks, but is not a lie in its core.

Ethics

While satire may technically be news that is fake, it’s not fake news in the sense that it doesn’t claim to be unadulterated truth. Fake news also differs from biased news in that biased news may be factually correct with opinion injected into it, fake news on the other hand is not factually correct and deliberately so.

Intent. The Onion, for example, doesn’t try to deceive people. Breitbart, on the other hand, does. Also tone. Again, The Onion – if you can’t tell that their articles are meant to be humorous then there’s something wrong with you.

Maybe the question should be what the difference is between satire and real news. I just came across this article. The writers of South Park have given up competing with Trump.
