> I have failed to find one important reason: all news are fake news now. This 'fake news' thing is just a recent meme that people strengthen through confirmation bias, and then pass around to justify their irrational behaviour. One example of irrational behaviour: working class conservative voters voting against their interests for generations, and then blaming the country's problems on the 'deep state.' The thing that is worrisome, is that we seem to be in a post truth era. We have gone beyond disagreeing about our opinions and our values, and are starting to solipsistically disagree on plain facts now.
