RE: The never-truth era: Media and belief
The problem with fake news isn't that people are reading it, it is that people are believing it and acting upon it.
bingo, although I disagree that people choose the news they like or that makes them feel good, all cable news to me seems geared to make their viewers angry and scared, the opposite of feeling good.
that is why they watch it. They like the emotional drama of it.
it's like the 2 minutes hate from 1984 but it is on 24/7
