Trump: The FAKE NEWS media is the enemy of the American people!

[abaris]

The first thing any fascist (communists also did this)  uprising has required is redefining language. If no one is certain what words mean then it can easily mean what you want it to mean.

That may look that way on the surface, but it doesn't cover what this is really about. Of course they find fancyful synonymes for something that would look bad if called by it's real name. But it doesn't change the fact that most people don't scratch the surface if something meets their opinion. If it doesn't they might. But that's, funny as that may sound, even harder in this day and age as it was in previous times. Social media makes a living out of collecting data and providing news feeds based on the collected data. As a Facebook or Twitter user you get fed what they think might interest you. So, people are stewing inside a bubble. On the left as well as on the right. If they don't actively look for other opinions. But hardly anyone does that.
