You're preaching to the choir :) I find it totally revolting that the response from the left to Trump's election is to blame "fake news", as if it's possible for an algorithm or even a very intelligent human to determine with certainty what is real and what is fake, and as if the largest media organizations haven't themselves been pushing "fake news" for a long time now.

Yes, it is revolting. They're doubling down on their strategy, and with that we lose more of our civil rights. For fuck's sake will this train wreck be stopped?

Independent news is already marginalized and criminalized. Amy Goodman and Glenn Greenwald have had that happen to them. Wikileaks is being attacked like a criminal organization. Once all the people like that are dealt with there's nothing left. Rotten to the core.
