Sorry, but this is an extraordinarily naive point of view.

The "fake news" meme is fake "news". Nothing new about it, just new players entering an old game.

I disagree almost completely. You are right about propaganda not being a new concept. You are wrong thinking the delivery system not being a game changer here. Comparatively speaking, I would compare it to radio or TV entering the scene.

edit: I almost think it is like comparing invention of wheel to today's cars.
