Threat Against Democracy (TAD). Fake news is an insidious
and dangerous thing. When a man takes a
weapon to a pizza shop and fires because he believes a fake news story claiming
there was a child sex ring operating there we should all be concerned. But, when the president-elect attacks the
main stream media with assertions of fake news over stories that depict him
poorly, it is much more serious. That
begins to look like state-sponsored propaganda aimed at intimidating and undermining
the press and even the right to free speech.
This should cause all of us to take notice. More than just a TAD.
