In Brazil we have the same mentality of “sides” and I believe that this is destroying the good sense of some people.
It’s not because everyone does it that it should be the norm, or that is not evil.
Our true challenge is how we can stop this type of propaganda without hurting any freedom?
In Brazil All the big publishers are in someway connected to the people in power, so our non-fake-news were never really impartial or independent. Some even say that the media should be controlled by the government (which is to me a 1984 scenario, but not so much different from what it’s today).
I believe that the only way to end this fake-news madness will be a truly anonymous p2p communication, but this would generate another kind of problem.
