That was actually the first connection I made when reading your (brilliant) post. I read that intention in portions of it. :)
Realization: 'Fake news' stories aren't news—they're sermons. Nominally about facts, actually about (shared) values. http://www.meltingasphalt.com/here-be-sermons/ …https://twitter.com/KevinSimler/status/921439197717655553 …
Just saw some fake news that was perfectly evolved to prey on my peer group. Now all tangled inside, b/c it would feel so good to believe.

Likewise, Trump does not deliver lectures, but sermons.

Bernie, too. Though, with him, I think the first time you hear his shtick, it's a lecture, and after that it's a sermon.

Not sure that we have as much control over our bubbles as we'd like.
