According to this analysis by @dsearls, #news has much more fundamental problems in what it covers and how it covers it than merely Fake News. Ouch.
P.S. ignore the part about Trump. It basically means that lots of news doesn't get covered, and what gets covered is basically distorted.

@j12t Actually, what I say about Trump is what nobody else is saying: that he's a genius at knowing how stories actually work, and at generating them constantly. But I should add that his opponents now understand his weakness at the same game, but that's beside the original point.
