The fake news template is to find somebody in Florida who said something controversial, then to demand that the DeSantis campaign disavow it.
The DeSantis fake news blizzard is mild compared to the campaign against Brett Kavanaugh.
Fake news hurts its human targets more than it wounds some abstract concept of civil society.
The human cost of fake news isn't limited to the two targets.
The monstrous disease eating our political system, known colloquially as the Mueller investigation, began in the same way, with campaign opposition research injected into the media to create fake news.
Politico, the BBC and the rest of the media quickly moved on, but the fake news damage was done.
That's what life is like in the age of fake news where some media outlet may decide at any moment that you are one of the shortest routes between Trump and Putin, between Ron DeSantis and racism, or between Brett Kavanaugh and its smear of the moment.
