Fake news is a symptom of malicious political environment more than anything else. Ordinary folks have little ability to peddle fake news consistently without institutional and financial support. When a country has the historical complexities and therefore the opportunities for exploitation, such things are bound to happen. Fake news is comforting like a warm bath. It reinforces your beliefs and finds you allies in fake news spreaders. Thankfully the awareness is growing.
