fake news flavor of the month club?
Not quite sure I get your point.
more of an observation I suppose - op-ed pieces being passed off as actual news arent - they’re basically fake news, and those publications that allow those op-ed “articles” to be published seem to have a cycle - they follow whatever is popular this month, because clicks generate revenue (for those who dont block advertising). next month’s news cycle will have different op-ed pieces about whatever is trending.
I wouldn’t call it “fake news.” It’s just someone’s opinion or interpretation of events. Sometimes it’s true, sometimes misunderstood, and yeah, sometimes it’s complete bunk, but at the end of the day- it’s not news. It’s someone’s opinion of the news.
And the reason it’s dangerous, is seen with conservative leaning sources that submit op-ed pieces as “news.” The Cletuses believe it- and suddenly we have weather men getting death threats, and lynch mobs murdering innocent people of color because they chose to jog on the wrong night.
