The funny thing is, news has always been fake! The mainstream news contradicts itself over and over in the uk, and lies all the time. In the states they are all reading from the same script. Trump has actually brought this to the surface, kind of. Most people should know about the media lying, but to my surprise they don’t.
The fake news thing started getting widespread when pizzagate/Hillary’s emails was all coming out a few years back, and they kept saying to everyone ‘don’t listen to the fake news haha’ and the sheep would listen and say, oh that’s all fake, the government told me. Yea, because they never lie ;)
