>Why is fake news so prevalent? Because of fake news? I find this phenomenon kind of pleasing, intellectually tickling? I mean, like recursion. Everyone asks why the phenomenon exists without realizing they are the sole creators. It's like a merry go round, each outlet trying to "catch" the baddies without realizing they are the problem. The MSM and the people within are so desperate for clicks and views that they spend their whole lives hopelessly slinging bullshit, "fact checks", retractions, hyperbole, "OP-eds" which are actually propaganda disguised as opinion and every other thinkable form of garbage content aimed solely at manipulating us. Then there's those of us who just sit quietly on the sidelines and laugh, and then we turn the talking heads off.
