Bob Wilson
The bigger issue than gaslighting (which everyone does) is how and who determines fake news. You could call most advertising gaslighting. I know when I watch some ads, I wonder how can they get away with saying that. So it is not a stretch to employ the same tactics with news. But that is the world we live in today...
