>Fake news first and formost is a clickbait scam to get advertising dollars, NOT a political propaganda approach and this tendency to keep using it as if it's an actual political issue is really absurd and itself an example of what is probably more an example of sloppy news.
That's a pretty bold assertion. Let me make sure I'm getting this right. According to you, there is not a problem of people creating and spreading lies in order to forward their political agendas?
That sounds like an absurd proposition from you. We can see it almost every single day, especially on platforms like facebook.
- ThomPete 8y agoBy all means. Please show me this new problem that didn't exist before and please show how this is actually convincing people to change their minds about a subject matter. There is nothing what so ever that makes "fake news" worse than your or mine self-delusional idea of what is true ESPECIALLY in politics which has nothing to do with truth but perspective. The actual problems with social media platforms like FB and Instagram etc are depression not one group of people living in an echo chamber more than others. Yes "fake news" can spread faster but so can rebuttals and "real news".
