The bigger problem IMO is that most of the mainstream media has been giving us fake news for years in order to manipulate the public into believing the horse shit that the government and their Corporate Overlord owners want us the believe.

It's idiotic beliefs/attitudes like this being sold by the Limbaughs of the world that have largely caused people to believe fake news. You now sound like Sarah Palin.

The media parrots the politicians who must make up wedge issues to win elections.

People have been believing fake news long before there was news.

It's the idiotic beliefs like "Saddam has Weapons of Mass Destruction", "Lehman Brothers is too big to fail", "Tax Cuts create jobs", "Social Security is going bankrupt", "Universal Health Care is a pixie dust dream", and "a 1250 square foot 3/2 starter home is worth $335,000", that were sold to us by the establishments propaganda machine that are the source of our problems.

Yes, but you are behind in your thinking, if you think that this sort of 'establishment memes in establishment media' is where it's at now. The Internet is changing everything, and much for the worse, so far.

So, you and Joad believe that the fact that real estate is very expensive in some market somehow justifies a fake news story about Hillary running a child sex ring out of a pizza shop? These beliefs could lead to an offer for you to serve on Trump's national security staff.

You might think that, but to me TJ's starter housing cost reference is about American Dream real estate industry propaganda not how supply and demand affects housing prices.
