Everybody should be concerned about fake news. Shortsighted people may see it as a liberal issue, but the pendulum will inevitably swing the other way too. The technology that allows mass misinformation is powerful and dangerous, and in the end nobody really benefits from it.

I do think the traditional news outlets have, to an extent, encouraged this problem with the excesses of needing to feed the 24-hour news cycle and the blurring of the line between reporting and editorializing. I don't think they deliberately lie, but I do believe they are all driven by powerful corporate interests that have an undue influence on their reporting. That too should concern us all.
