Fake news or lying press was invented by Goebbels during Natzi ruled Germany. Goebbels once Hitler became PM took over the media and only offered state run information. The invention at the time .. the radio of which he gave a radio to every German household. Trump is a master at co-oping stories and bringing to reality. He started with moving the embassy to Jerusalem which started the MAGA faithful to believe he was the chosen one. Trump is Gobbles on steroids. Nothing is out of bounds when he only wants power. Empowered by the faithful, his next move will be to mark those that are not loyal.
I didn't know Fake News was invented by Goebbels. Not surprised. Seems everything about Trump's playbook is right from the Nazis. I'm SURE the media knows but yeah, basket of deplorables, emails, Biden misspeaks about garbage, is Kamala really Black is really more important.
There are any number of great documentaries about the Nazis, and without fail, each time I watch one, I am chilled to the bone about the parallels to modern America. "Hitler's Circle of Evil" is particularly good, as it focuses on the sycophants that surrounded him, including Goebbels.
Goebbels was actually extremely patient in his propaganda efforts. He ultimately found that the way to erode the German soul was to do a slow drip of hate against the Jews as opposed to demands from the government that citizens turn on their neighbors with boycotts and the like.
As someone mentioned above, once he got the idea to put a free radio in every German home, he was golden. The hate dripped out slowly between the music and radio plays, and eventually, it worked. The German people became primed to support Hitler's insane ideas, leading to the complete destruction of their country.

The parallels are chilling. I listened to Rachel Maddow's podcast on it.
"Fake news", aka propaganda, has been around a lot longer than the Nazis.
In no specific order: Julius Caesar, Hammurabi, Ramses the Great, Darius, Cleopatra, the list goes on.
Goebbels took notes, but he never invented fake news. He wasn't near that intelligent. He merely copied what he studied. 💙
