About to? Hasn't it been going on for the last month?

Just seconds ago, I read a comment about Trump's twitter feed. Was it real or a parody? I don't know.

Every post about Trump is barely substantiated or its evidence is an article that is unsubstantiated and that may or may not be a parody. I've seen people arguing with articles that read like parodies to me.

Where do we find this proven accurate and true information? Generally, you'd have to trust the source. When all sources can't be trusted to not be satirizing, that leaves fewer and fewer ways to find this slowly evaporating proven accurate and true information.

Edit: More and more, I'm seeing more of the Law of the Echo Chamber.
