Fake News creator scolds news media: You shouldve been talking about this years ago (VIDEO)
One of the first things fake news creator Jestin Coler did was to admonish the mainstream news media in his interview with MSNBC's Jacob Soboroff. Coler has a point. What he is doing is at best shady. But he is not a credentialed journalist. His stories are from a satirical site. We should be more concerned about mainstream journalists migrating into the realm of entertainment for the benefit of their corporate masters.
In the preamble to the piece, Jacob Soboroff pointed out a Buzzfeed study that showed fake news stories getting more traction than 'real' news stories.
You can watch the compressed interview here.
