I don't know how anyone can see poo poo like this as anything other than the establishment throwing a temper tantrum and desperately grasping at their slipping influence:

This is the core of why there is fake news hype right now. I have conservative ex-friends who want the fake news discussion to orbit a "mainstream media is all lies" focus. Sorry, no, this is about literally fake news, your desire to hack and slash at traditional outlets when you've been stumbling across and believing whole-cloth fabrications off Facebook and Reddit for the last six months would be hilarious if it was not also what half of America is doing right now to defend their purchase.

The mainstream media and Clinton surrogates were passing off lie after lie this election. Sorry dude, mainstream is fake, too.

This is dumb shallow bullshit to avoid solving a real problem.

The real problem is that the mainstream media is so corrupt and beholden to interests other than the truth that it allows fake news to prosper. There's a reason this is happening and people think journalists are scum. The big names circling the wagons is just preparation for things like censoring wikileaks.

Trusting a bunch of ideological hacks to be the kingmakers of media will fail just as hilariously as an algorithm. Both forms of curation sucked and returning to the old way isn't the answer. Also, LOL that some of you actually think Snopes is still a good source for political debunking.

lmao are you every freeper grandpa

I'm not sure this is even a valid insult anymore considering that the liberal ideological media bubble turned out to be the biggest lie in modern US history. Make fun of the freeps if you want, but they were right.
