I do not think that news was always this fake simply because of the tools for manipulating it did not exist William Randolph Hearst was the progenitor fake news starting the Spanish American war The presentation of speculation as fact

Once the military industrial complex took hold and there was economic and capital interest in having events proceed in certain ways It was a slow evolution into total narrative control

The meta-issue today is it the entire population can see the narrative control and has the exact same tools Institutions do not have any more power than individuals, or capabilities It’s all fallen apart fast

People do not like to be lied to regardless of one’s political perspectives, human nature has inherent desire for truth or at least something resembling it

In my lifetime, it's gone from: Straight news from leftie anchors
Left leaning opinion shows with some news
Left and right leaning opinion shows with some news
Left and right leaning opinion shows and biased news
to today's completely made up fake news. -
"News rooms" became profit centers and "stories" are more entertaining & less labor intensive, after all. Slow news day? Better come up with something and repeat it and repeat it. You know it's fake when they all use the same inflammatory words. Exact.same.inflammatory.words.
