Fake news =/= systemic issues Fake news = purposeful disinformation meant to distract from real harmful things in the world. The point of the post is that shes being outraged over things that do not matter, instead of things that do matter (like the harmful nicotine industry, or distracted driving.). If she cared about the nicotine industries harm, where is the bumper sticker? If she cares about road safety, why is she clearly texting and driving?

Your argument is built upon false equivalencies at best and is being purposefully ignorant at worst. The post is meant to bring light to the fact that the US is killing itself for comfort in old ways and disinformation.
