The MSM's credibility is at an all-time low, yet they can just push this buzzword post-election and people will buy into it. Sad.
calling it "alternative media" is giving too much credit when sources are reddit, facebook and twitter. before the "fake news" buzzword i just called them conspiracy bullshit sites.
