LOL at saying CNN is merely "biased"... yeah, to the point of colluding with the DNC to get Hillary elected. Fortunately, more and more of us are breaking away from the herd.
The DNC chair was an analyst for CNN and slipping Clinton debate questions.

It's so easy to plant a fake story. And if you're lucky, social media will spread it like wildfire in mere minutes.
Just as long as it's juicy enough and there are people wanting to believe it.
What's worse is even when fake news stories are caught, the correction rarely if ever gets the same level of attention as the fake story itself.
The disinformation lingers on. It can also cycle back into the news and a smaller version of itself takes effect.
CNN and MSNBC are the biggest fake news assholes there is

well we also live in the era where 99% all of knowledge that has been discovered by humans are on your smart phone.
It is a separate category because the mainstream media is held accountable for bullshitting. The NYT reporter who reported on Chalabi's statements was fired for not fact checking what she said.
They rely on reputation and advertising support.
The new media has no culpability what so ever, and relies entirely on pandering to preexisting bias in order to propagate disinformation. Not "negligent reporting", deliberately spreading disinformation.
Just look at what happened with Clinton emails and people retweeting nonsense while admitting they didn't even care to fact check it (or read it in many cases), because they didn't like Clinton.
This isn't something that is specific to America or this Election either.
The popularity of social media has given bullshit artists an audience they never could have reached before.
Comments on this trend aren't a new thing (at least, no newer than the trend itself).
