I can explain a bit better - many of the major news outlets like CNN are either affiliated with certain politicians or they are essentially a personal blog for certain rich people, and in the same way some government positions are constructed fascades, we don't actually see the people who are really in control, at least in the US,
they are usually known as the illuminati / freemasons, I didn't think they actually existed until recently.
Thats why it was necessary to elect an orange idiot because he is just a normal person albeit with a lot of money, and he has no connection to those people.
The 'fake news' thing is a power play, it serves multiple purposes
- re-establish trust in the traditional media by making the alternative seem unreliable
- delegitimize Trump presidency by suggesting voting was based on disinformation
- censorship of contrasting viewpoints, anything they don't like magically becomes 'fake' and you never see it,
Facebook was famously caught doing a similar thing to a lesser extent. Twitter also does this now, its known as Throttling and not many people even know it is implemented.
- spread fear and paranoia about possible disasters that could occur as a result of viral mass delusion,
seems to tie in nicely with recent Cold War -esqe propaganda.
