a lot of old people think of the bbc as people did in the second world war, and immediate aftermath (i.e. as a trustworthy source of important news)
you never hear anything really unless it's pro-government propaganda, or something equally false about the united states, china, france, germany or russia most other places don't get mentioned, bar the odd reference to reasonably powerful nations like india or australia

anti-immigration news are fake news, too.
Coincidentally, any news that claimed that refugees were all engineers and doctors, that they would cause an economic boom and that they would not cause an increase in crime, are not fake news, but honest mistakes at worst.

Funny, even our leftist newspapers are now more or less 'forced' to write about how integration of mudslimes has gloriously failed in Austria ... although they still try to give it the spin that with enough effort etc etc bla bla bla.
And nobody takes our state television seriously anyway. Tu felix Austria...
The children must take lessons from Trump instead.

I can make it easier - any MSM, being propaganda outlet and all that, has fake news. The way to counter this is either have several news sources that often say different things about the same news, or research and use your brain.
