Media Lens - Fake News About 'Fake News' - The Media Performance Pyramid
Media Lens' latest alert skilfully deconstructs the "fake news" scam.
Social media, say the corporate media, is responsible for all
democracy's ills, whether Donald Trump or Jeremy Corbyn. What we need,
say the corporate media, is a return to that golden era when the only
news available was provided by ... the corporate media. And the
corporate media, of course, can be trusted on every issue, from Iraq's
WMDs to Putin's megalomania and Hillary Clinton's heart of gold – paid
for, in part, by Goldman Sachs (oops, sorry I slipped in some "fake"
news there because we are on social media).
