I don't get the point of fake news that nobody believes. Aren't you supposed to be spreading propaganda that people do believe? All this does is undermine everything that comes from a Russian or Chinese source.

Good propaganda would be done by a medium which is "trusted", but suddenly would introduce a bias in its reporting (which should remain undetected).

The modern media is dominated by bullies that seek to assault us with nasty arguments and bitching and complaining.

The goal is to wear you down until you just throw up your hands and give up, which means that THEY now control the conversation, ie THEY control the politics and the money.

The Republicans are basically traitors and I'd imagine even the Democrats are traitors when they can make a buck and they can get away with it. What else is new?
