how many news sources (read, owners) we down to now?

the whole 'fake news' phenomena plays beautifully into manipulating people - the internet allowed more points of views to be heard, more dissemination of facts - but proliferation of fake news will be used to discredit the valid ones

Yes.

The whole idea is to call any alternative viewpoint fake news.

After the fact checking websites failed to make any impact this was plan B.

The scary thing for the US mainstream media in particular though is that people just are not paying attention to them any more.

Fake news is something that didn't happen.

How can you cover something that didn't happen?
