The gist of the article is not that fake news is not the problem, but that people have lost faith in all media, including mainstream media. > The problem, Binkowski believes, is that the public has lost faith in the media broadly — therefore no media outlet is considered credible any longer. So basically, now, people give about as much credence to an established media article as to a social media article - which is a good thing in my opinion, given that established media are no longer vetting their sources as they should, are hypocritical about their opinions, and are instead giving in to the biases that they hold in their own echo chambers. Social media simply provides an alternative, equally biased opinion from the opposite end.
