When "fake news" is used dismissively to ridicule once widely trusted institutions then at least it implies individual assessment is alive and well and able to be improved. When the "intellectually superior" claim to be among the few who can detect "fake news" postings on the web it's time to worry. They can't tell the trolls from the believers so naturally, neither could anyone else EVER attain this skill. Intervention only gets prescribed to preserve their status quo.
