Indeed. Fake news sarts at the top. From today's Mail:

"Now for Italexit! Italian Prime Minister resigns after EU referendum loss" https://twitter.com/MailOnline/status/805670033875726336

.. except that the referendum has nothing to do with the EU, it was about internal constitutional change, and Italy is no closer to leaving the EU.

People read the Mail and Express because they don't care about whether their news is reliable, reasonable or democratic.

They read the Mail and Express because their counterparts are biased and devoted to pushing narratives, and have little interest in informing anyone when it's inconvenient to their worldview.

They read the Mail and Express because those papers are biased and devoted to pushing narratives, surely?
