We live in a world that cares a lot about fake news - which, if we weren't so corny, would be called fake news. To deny is to tell someone that they have lied; It is, as the classics said, “to launch a resounding lie” against some other person's statement.

And one of the main functions of journalism should be that: to deny. Detect the lie, disarm it. If they do not do so, they resign themselves to being the spokespersons for a forger, always under the pretext of portraying reality.
