Coverage is well deserved but only focused on one single case: Trump's campaign.
Syrian Civil War began in social media first. The journalists criticising Facebook nowadays used to run campaign for how social media helps protesters organize. What if Arab spring wasn't an organic movement? Isn't it weird that some "experts" suddenly changed their mind about social media after Trump's election?
Also, why noone even talks about Google? It's much bigger weapon for manipulating facts if you consider millions of people trusting its results for their questions. People ask Google if Brexit is good, people ask Google if Trump is doing good. And we don't even know how Google picks the best results. What if there are some SEO tricks shared with only a few companies?
