In the absence of real news fake news will flourish.
(turns out nature does indeed abhor a vacuum).
Censorship isn't a workable answer. The answer is for mainstream media to attempt to regain credibility by providing non-biased reporting and leaving off the propaganda.
This isn't an ideological statement either so please don't misconstrue. If you prefer, think of it as a strategy.
BTW.. I'm personally am sick of the "fake news" whining. I suspect I'm not alone in this. If it was a problem it was a problem a year ago.
I generally don't agree with Zuckerburg but in this case I do. Fake news didn't win the election. So please just stop it. Threatening forms of censorship isn't going to win more respect. Try behaving respectfully.
