I'm hesitant to write this because it's early days, I don't want to generalize, and I'm really having a hard time sifting through how much spin is on the news and the reason it's there.

But so far, it seems to me that Trump's people don't have to do anything. There's so much click baity garbage out there already that it obscures the real issues.

We know from all the Wikileaks drops that the US media went all-in on Hillary getting elected. My hope is that they channel that corruption/anger/oversight(?) into watching the new administration much better than they watched Obama.

I just saw a reddit about BBC setting up a team to debunk fake news. This was on Jan. 12, 2017.

The article

But it seems to me that even foreign countries have a stake in the outcome of the news.
