Fake news is not trifling. It's a regular occurrence calculated to influence public opinion & has caused dismissal of several journalists. Sheryl Atkinson gave a TED talk on genesis of term. Not surprisingly started by big-time HRC donor. Listen to it:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMX4NmCJGm0 …

You title makes a claim ("their power is overblown") not supported by your article. Your article says more work is needed not that the effect is null. Moreover, in a political election decided by a few thousand votes, the adverting effect you promote could have been decisive.

You seem to define "fake news" as the dubious websites/memes created by some guy in Kazakhstan or wherever. You're right about its irrelevance -- but that's not the fake news that's dangerous. It's the MAINSTREAM media being dishonest/careless that's the real concern.

WTF? Elections are often very close. Just changing a few thousand minds can have huge political consequences.

Much is made of Fake News but, from what I've seen, the people who screech the loudest about it, do the least to inform people about how to spot it. I wonder why that could be.

It's the sport of "AlterNet Realities". A side effect of an information age. Catfishing and Nigerian scambaiting are other examples of this. Most recent is the Sam Hyde 4chan prank.

Encouraging! However, when does propaganda begin to have significant effects? Eg. Russian propaganda in Russia. Thank you.
