I take a fundamental issue with the core thinking behind this post. It seems to be: "the voters should not be allowed free communication between themselves - it needs to be policed and curated for them. They should preferably get most/all of their information and political opinion from big media. Some telling parts from the post: "Facebook’s viral and social mechanisms allow the amplification of content well beyond its original media budget, thus exacerbating the issue." "A thousand “Hillary Clinton is a crook” “opinion pieces” probably don’t fall into your count of fake news per se (even though, it’s worth pointing out that their very title would constitute libel and is a lie). And opinion pieces are much, much harder to police. "
