Has "Fake News" destroyed april fools?

I barely see any jokes in the newspapers at all now, some years ago I saw lots online and stuff. Some people say it's cus so much focus has been on what is seriously real or not.
Cus people fall for whatever is in their social media feed and Trump keeps calling everything he doesn't like to hear fake.

What are you people aiming at by constantly posting general threads about "fake news" and selective information...lmao.

Times are changing, and people are caring a lot less for t.v news, these days. So boring.

At least with social media news you pick and choose what you want to look at, or take serious. No one's "feeding" you BS.

Keep scrolling down.

i always thought facebook and google use algorithms to share news feed that you would most likely agree with. They use your search history, previous posts, and whatever, to give you news that is tailor made for your sensibilities.

How is that your choice then? Isn't this basically giving you confirmation bias?
