Fake news is comparable to domestic terrorism, and must be treated that way. Better look out, WaPo.

"Fake news is comparable to domestic terrorism."

There probably is a connection in more than one way. Fake news encourages extremism on both sides, and it undermines the "center" by diminishing trust in our institutions and in a shared reality.

And it is even worse when practitioners of fake news set themselves up as arbiters of what constitutes fake news and use their power to censor things that are either demonstrably true, arguably true, or unproven but possible.
