Byolante posted:I think the fake news argument at it's core is fundamentally flawed because there doesn't seem to be anyone talking about it being a problem on the left, which it absolutely is. Interesting piece from NPR: We Tracked Down A Fake-News Creator In The Suburbs. Here's What We Learned http://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2016/11/23/503146770/npr-finds-the-head-of-a-covert-fake-news-operation-in-the-suburbs quote:We've tried to do similar things to liberals. It just has never worked, it never takes off. You'll get debunked within the first two comments and then the whole thing just kind of fizzles out. On the other hand: CheeseSpawn posted:

Extensive Vamping posted:What I'm getting from all of this is we need a "War of the Worlds" type of event every so often. Was he "War of the Worlds" event was a very effective piece of fake news . . . or do we just think so because of some vaguely sourced news stories that later blew up virally ? http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/history/2013/10/orson_welles_war_of_the_worlds_panic_myth_the_infamous_radio_broadcast_did.html
