It is sad but a little entertaining how hard media pushes the 'Trump voters got conned' narrative. Almost like angry, little kids who are in incapable of accepting that somebody dares to have a different opinion.
- ern 10y agoThe media was covering fake news well before the election. I suspect that, had Hillary won, we'd have seen the same amount of coverage, but with a tone of "it was a close call". It has been clear for a long time that large-scale trolling and fake news operations were underway for a long time, and needed to be addressed. Indeed, I expect that the MSM is being somewhat restrained here, because they don't want to seem like sore losers.
- 1337biz 10y agoI disagree on that because I actually looked into what they classified awhs fake news. In the recent buzzfeed article they classify hyper partisan news as fake news. I actually looked into the raw files. And there was if cause Breitbart listed amongst the fake news. So in the end it is established media trying to claim their ground.
