FYI, I believe the phrase is “fourth estate” not “state.”

Haven’t you heard? There’s no such thing as facts anymore. If “fourth state” feels right, it doesn’t have to be true.

Just move here:
“The Americans loved our stories and we make money from them,” he boasts, making sure I see the designer watch he’s fiddling with. “Who cares if they are true or false?”

I saw it mentioned in another thread here (and I’ve witnessed it myself too) that conservatives are re-branding any mainstream media report they don’t like as “the REAL fake news.” I wonder how far they can take that-- the economy is doing pretty good right now, but if one of Trump’s policies causes some huge drop in the market (note how a single Trump tweet about Boeing caused their stock to plummet) will they insist the market is actually doing great? As the saying goes “reality tends to have a liberal bias”, if you start telling people observable reality like inflation or unemployment is an illusion, you eat away at your own credibility even among the faithful.

I think the “fake news state” roughly correlates to “excited state” in quantum physics.

The average age of Fox News viewers is 68. Many of them haven’t been in an excited state in decades.
