They probably will, lots of pro Trump stuff is being flagged as fake news on facebook, you can even get yourself a Trump filter if you are that pathetic and you can't handle seeing stories about him. (not you, anyone)

I just don't get these sudden interest or alarm in fake news , its being going on since biblical times , big use in the wars , think it used to be called Propaganda
Politics or geopolitics is about overlapping factions, each with their own ideologies and interests, all of which are continually shifting and changing, and all of which are constituted of individual people with their own needs, desires, perversions, secrets and personal relationships.
I'm lucky enough to have worked in Plaid Cymru HQ -Ty Gwynfor - for the final year of Plaid's coalition government with Labour so I've seen first hand how quickly factions can form and dissolve.
The owners (and editor) of the Daily Mail have overlapping interests with members of various factions - for example certain wealthy UK people, prominent members of the Conservatives and UKIP, media like Breitbart.
Wikipedia, on the other hand, has overlapping interests with people like the Clintons and organisations like Facebook.
Understanding this is not very complicated but the relationships are infinitely complex.
Most groups and indiduals have now stepped out from the shadows, so it's fairly trivial to see who is who. A few double agents are still in place acting as agent provocateurs, but what we are now witnessing is a full-on information war, and the stakes are very high indeed. I also think it's fair to say that so far we have only witnessed the opening skirmishes, with both sides keeping their heavy artillery in reserve.

Exhibit A
Some more evidence
The myriad 'rolling news' channels are broadcast 'live' but not all of the content is 'live' - as in ..live. Clearly ;)
Yes it's bullsh1t but surely it is not sinister - its a show - like everything else on TV ;) I would be sure that they all do it. All of them.
I know you have some interesting stuff in your locker - not this kind of stuff!
Good job you put a laughing smiley in your post .
