Major Media Crash: They Need a Scapegoat

Click here to access article by Jon Rappoport from Activist Post

I wasn't aware why this "fake news" issue suddenly started appearing in mainstream media (probably because I don't follow corporate media very much), but this assertion as expressed in the headline does make sense because of its timing right after the election. However, I wish that Rappoport would have provided a link to an illustration that attempted to explain or excuse how corporate media got the presidential election outcome so wrong.

I differ with some of Rappoport's assertions such as the internet companies had conspired from the beginning to promote capitalist ruling class (he refers to them as "elites") propaganda and his optimism about how people are turning to independent media in droves. However, in general, I think he makes some very good points.
