Logical alternative to the “mainstream media” would be the “fringe media.” I’ve spoken with a family member who said they don’t know what to believe nowadays. It’s useless pointing out that relying on the fringe media’s trafficking in “alternate facts” and conspiracy theories will certainly leave you clueless and grasping to understand reality.
Strangely enough the country never had a problem with fake news until the media started reporting on the many shortcomings of the current president. But it’s a fabrication constructed by a president lacking decency and character who is clearly in over his head and literally unable to admit it. A self-serving president continually showing the world he’s incapable of performing even the simplest duties of his job. Now, all of the sudden, we have a deluge of fake news? Fake News: The fuel of the fringe media. Have a detrimental lack of critical thinking skills in America.
