Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper (1807)
Every time I try and point out some media bias against Trump I have to preface it with the fact that I&#x27;m not a Trump supporter, but doing so when advocating for press transparency is getting tiresome. I see lots of people having to add the same disclaimer when exposing the MSM obvious bias because we know that going against the main narrative is interpreted as supporting the &#x27;other side&#x27; these days.<p>I also keep seeing articles on HN and elsewhere talking about how Facebook or Google or whoever can fix the spread of Fake News or misinformation. The elephant in the room is that the problem lies with people, the majority of people, who do not care about facts or accuracy. I believe for most people the constant stream of &quot;news&quot; on Facebook is just a modern soap opera. Why watch Eastenders when you can have a live streamed 24&#x2F;7 stream of drama in front of your very eyes. Facebook cannot fix peoples disposition towards their attraction to sensationalism. I don&#x27;t even think this is a recent phenomenon, it&#x27;s just taken a while for people who would usually take part in this offline to transfer it online and we as the people who grew up with the early internet are only now experiencing it in our space and thinking it is something new.
