I disagree with you. In my opinion fake news is a very convenient way for the government or the big tech to censor any dissent. Simply label anything 'fake news' or try to equate euroskepticism/conservatism to antivaccination and you win. You've got to be blind not to see that the 'fake news' narrative is used by the government to control the agenda. If it's nihilism or easy way out - fine. I'm not buying it. I've watched Alex Jones quite a bit 5-10 years ago. Yeah, he's batshit crazy, but when YouTube and Facebook banned Infowars, that's a very, very bad sign. I means that you can label anyone as 'another Alex Jones' and ban them. And politicians love having this option, apparently. Like what's happening to RT in UK, for example.
