Fake news is a good term for what it is. There have been examples recently of trumps spokesperson referring to a terrorist attack that never happened, while the anti trump media at times indulges in wild speculation about his "supposed" intentions, which leads to a growing atmosphere of tension. I saw an interview a few days ago with McCain on CNN where the presenter was speaking about how trump was going to start to censor the media, curb democracy and start on the path to becoming america's first dictator. A tweet was mentioned as evidence of this and when I checked no such tweet existed.
A report on fox news about sweden clearly had edited the answer from an immigrant about whether a certain neighbourhood was a no go area. He is asked the question, there is a clear edited jump in the footage, and he answers in the positive (probalby the answer to a different question got grafted on). Fake news.
A recent Guardian article which uncovered that an immigrant rape case this last new years eve was faked by the supposed victims, tried to insinuate that Cologne last year was also therefore fake, which in turn again is fake news which tries to cover up.
In fact, without mentioning the daily mail, the Guardian and the independent's coverage of many things now is extremely iffy. They go on and on about brexit as though it were cancer and rarely give voice to the people who voted for it in the referendum. Their voice is rarley heard, there is no balance. thus, the lie that the majority didn't support it, is maintained alive.
People without degrees, the vast majority of people in britian, have no voice either. They only appear in the news if they do something violent.
