That ploy just works in reverse. At the end of the day, they're just sentencing themselves to a slow death. They haven't the slightest idea how to recoup the trust and respect of their people.

Where in the article are US liberals mentioned?

The point in the whole thing is that influencing elections by fake news would NOT be able to interfere.

Don't be fooled. It's a scheme to label dissent as "disputed" news by Zuckerberg & Libs Inc.

Yup. This is serious. Facebook is the American equivalent of Russia's Kremlin.

That's quite funny, because guess who is behind this likely future disinformation campaign? That's right - Trump's new buddy in the east.

They hypocrisy on the right is unbelievable.

Trump's entire campaign was based on fake news perpetrated by Breitbart and all the other alt-right sites that happily reprinted lies that were, in fact, then repeated by Trump on national television. Yes--when he denies it, the tape will roll.

Now it's a liberal thing? Because Trump, a man who lies 75% of the time, says so? That bully is not going to steamroll over half of this country and try to revise history. Is he still talking about Hillary's health and Ted Cruz' father, the assassin?

This is all supposed to be swept under the rug? The PE is a fake and a fraud, and all the parades in the world will not change that fact.

What is as hypocritical is that some of the right use their new buzzwords all the time, like 'safe space' and 'special snowflake' to discredit other people.

Fake news are these people's safe space, because real news are too upsetting and triggering for them. Also the mentality "I'm a white meat-eating straight male, I'm so mistreated" is such a special snowflake attitude as only can be.

Are you unable to realize that you are completely deluded? You are obviously even unable to understand simple text passages.
