The Fake News problem wont solve itself unless...

the mainstream media takes on responsibility, admits to mistakes and stops with the political correctness bullshit.

for questionable reason the old fashioned... mainstream (or however you wanna call them) news stopped reporting facts despite better knowledge to be political correct. there was crimes, incidents and the people involved not called out even though there was knowledge about it, statistics were known and it all fell victim to some scissors in the minds of responsibel people that you cant say certain things as it will be hurtful to certain people.

but the problem is... people realized that... and they lost the trust into these news.

and what then happend made the whole situation grotesque, people thouzght to themself... if i cant believe those news anymore... i will just listen to other news... better news. news that tell me things i wanna hear.

these "new news" arent in any way better.. and they are defintiely even far more off the truth then some censored news of the mainstream media... but people lost their trust into news overall.

so yes, fake news are a big problem in the western world right now... but the people who created these spawns of propaganda news are the classic news and their lack of doing what is true instead of what they think should be true.

@CopperCicada: only the reporters will get real facts but then again sometimes when its political the politicians tend to spin their own facts. which needs to be fact checked.

@CopperCicada: well... in some cases science makes the answer obvious like on global warming. on other things like statistics about crime i can only advice to be sceptical of the interpretation of whatever numbers come up.
