I'd still like to read the news stories that generated this post if anyone knows which ones they are.
The media really creates a narrative, and focuses on what they want you to know, which is why it's more important to learn the stories they are not telling you. Those are the interesting ones. Problem is most people don't have time to go searching out alternative news and put their trust in corporations to bring them what they learn. There are a lot of true stories out there that get labeled fake news just because it's not from a major corporation. Always look at who is behind various news organizations.
Again it always comes down to a narrative they construct. There could be two stories that are completely true, but if one doesn't fit the narrative they are pushing they will only focus on one. It's one reason a lot of the rapes by migrants are not being reported, and instead they are focusing the stories of people getting deported or other things. They don't want people to focus on certain things. It's called perception management to create public opinions and engineer consent. He was basically the inventor of public relations.

CHAPTER I
ORGANIZING CHAOS
THE conscious and intelligent manipulation of the
organized habits and opinions of the masses is an
important element in democratic society. Those who
manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute
an invisible government which is the true ruling
power of our country.
We are governed, our minds are molded, our
tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men
we have never heard of. This is a logical result of
the way in which our democratic society is organized.
Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in
this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly
functioning society.
Our invisible governors are, in many cases, unaware
of the identity of their fellow members in the
inner cabinet.
So is this the article you are refering to?

In the article there is a link to the position they were hiring for, which as of now is under review, possibly based on the publicity of the article. Perhaps the article was true since they were hiring for a new position, but I can't read the job description anymore. Here's the link to your campus:

As the university explains on its website, a social justice advocate (SJA) “will be responsible for instituting monthly programmatic efforts within the residence halls that focus specifically on social justice issues.”

Of course this was spun from this newspaper. However, I looked into this and really what the position is is a role in order to report behavior that is in line with misconduct. This sort of misconduct is stuff like sexual harassment, bullying and etc. However, the right wingers then decided to attack my Universities Facebook page by calling them communists and Hitler Youth because of this. I even asked one of these angry people who had nothing to do with my University where he heard this story from. I have been at University of Arizona for over a year and have never heard of such a thing. This guy I asked [He looked like a child molester] to provide some information on this refused to. His logic was "Why should I have to". I then explained to him that when someone makes such an idiotic statement they must be able to back it up.
Needless to say, this moron did not have any evidence. I even googled it and the only article that came up was the Daily Caller [As i stated before].
This is so funny though. Because about a month ago there was a story about my University handing out "SJW" Manuals. These manuals apparently tell people what to do when their feelings got hurt. I personally thought this was silly. However, once again I have never heard about these. Never got any information about it from my school either. And according to the articles that were published on this, it was sent to all students. Not to mention they were apparently passing them out, but again I never once saw this!
This is a serious issue we are having in this country. People need to realize that just because something is on the internet does not mean it's true. There is saying that if you look into the sky long enough you will see a UFO. I think it applies to this same instance, but this is more of a serious matter. Is it because they want these things to be true so the fake news gives it to them? I mean, you could google the following things: "Obama is a Muslim", or "Hillary is killing people". And you will find them!
I really never understood why some people in the world despise America so much, and after this last election cycle I completely understand those feelings now. Americans are seriously idiots.
