You're fucking kidding me? So after having their collective pants pulled down over the election and coining "fake news" to maintain hegemony over the mainstream narrative, they're fucking throwing the toy out of the pram because it can be used against them as well as by them???
"Let’s get out the hook and pull that baby off stage. Yes: Simply stop using it."
Here's another idea for the mainstream media since their slow-motion "fake news" train crash just completely derailed: BE A BIT MORE FUCKING HONEST, UNBIASED AND FACT-BASED IN YOUR REPORTING. An impossibility, I know, but I thought I'd throw it out there anyway.
There was a time when journalism was a respected institution, when journalists and reporters worked for the public interest, they exposed the kind of bullshit that we now rely on the likes of Wikileaks for instead of covering it up, colluding and spinning bullshit narratives.
And they fucking wonder why alternative media has taken off so much in recent months?
