Clearly, "fakenews" is a problem only some people have - otherwise, it would be considered a "problem" even before the election!
It's very similar to "election fraud" - before the results, when Democrats were confident they'd win, Trump warning about election fraud was branded a lunatic, a threat to democracy, now we have the same situation on the other side but suddenly it's "the right thing to do" (smart and trustworthy people, e.g. Nate Silver, have dismissed the claims).
The bias is obvious for all neutral people. If a problem is only a problem when you have it, it's not a real problem, merely propaganda.
- tptacek 10y agoNo. The story is about fakenews. It's not about whatever other problems you might have. Talking about a specific problem doesn't mean we're disposing of other problems. On the other hand, requiring us to talk about other problems before we discuss a specific problem is a form of censorship (or trolling, which often has censorship as its ultimate aim).
