Fake news never makes demands on its target audience.

consumerism, purchasing the sponsor products, donating to the clergy....

I do not think more than 0.5% of humanity demonstrates self-awareness or an ability to openly discuss media-consumption bias.

I think people fall in love with dead persons so easily that they will sell out all of living/alive humanity for a storybook.

“Finnegans Wake is the greatest guidebook to media study ever fashioned by man.” - Marshall McLuhan, Newsweek Magazine, page 56, February 28, 1966.

I have never done LSD or any other illegal drugs, but I have read FInnegans Wake: www.LazyWake.com
