Propaganda and fake news are not the same things. Fake news can be used as propaganda, but all propaganda does not fall under the definition of completely made up news, i.e., total lies. Fake news is not spin, exaggeration, embellishments or misinterpretation of real events.Lots of blame to go around. I don't think scapegoating "fake news" is going to solve anything. Americans have been the victims of propaganda for so long now we as a whole are very confused. Time to slow down and not let the purveyors of propaganda (the corporate media) send us into a deeper hole where we start accepting censorship.But I'm not the problem...the problem is the disquieting number of idiots who uncritically huff from the font of FOX, Drudge, Breitbart etc, and believe themselves informed.You seem like a smart enough person, it's not that difficult to sniff out the shit that passes for journalism these days.How do you distinguish " independent journalist" from "clickbait rube rancher"?People can support independent journalists, they still exist. Though they are increasingly threatened by the Starkey's of the world.I'm not sure that is necessarily true.
If the system is a monopoly, what choice do they have?
And then go out and vote accordingly....
Besides, fake news didn't cost Clinton the election, her neo conservative, neo liberal positions did as far as I'm concerned.
