who are affiliated with the globalist Council of Europe, the authors argue that the term \u201cfake news\u201d has \u201cbecome meaningless\u201d and lost its power because politicians (primarily Donald Trump) have hijacked it as a way to \u201cundermine\u201d the media establishment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"unnamed10\" align=\"left\">The authors decry the fact that many people now believe the mainstream media peddles \u201cfabricated stories\u201d and that information monopolies are being challenged by the ability for \u201canyone in the world\u201d to have a platform.<\/p>\n<hr

only through intervention at the level of \u201cpublic education\u201d (ie indoctrination) can this be reversed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"unnamed10\" align=\"left\">Of course, the real reason media elites want to clamp down on the term \u201cfake news\u201d is because its original intention, to smear and discredit opponents of Hillary Clinton, right of center media outlets, and people who distrust the mainstream media, has completely backfired.<\/p>\n<p class=\"unnamed10\" align=\"left\">This was illustrated yet again by Donald Trump\u2019s tweet earlier today when he suggested that a \u201cfake news trophy\u201d should be awarded to the network that has been responsible for the most inaccurate reporting.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;click on the above link to read the rest of the
