Alles ist jetzt Fake News
Mittlerweile ist irgendwie alles Fake News: dubiose Geheimdienstleaks, ganz normale journalistische Artikel und sogar soziale Proteste in Mexiko. Unser Überblick zu den Debatten und Forderungen der letzten Tage und Wochen.

Auf die gestrigen Veröffentlichungen bei CNN und Buzzfeed reagierte Donald Trump mit einem in kapitalen Lettern geschriebenen Tweet: „FAKE NEWS – A TOTAL POLITICAL WITCH HUNT!“. In einer turbulenten Pressekonferenz legte er nach und beschimpfte gar CNN mit den Worten „Ihr seid Fake News!“ Zuletzt erklärten mexikanische Behörden gegenüber der Zeitung El Universal, dass die Sozialproteste gegen eine Erhöhung des Benzinpreises durch Social Bots und Fake News angeheizt worden seien. Und hierzulande kann man manchmal den Eindruck bekommen, dass Rassismus und rechte Umfrageerfolge zunehmend mit Fake News und Meinungsrobotern erklärt werden.
