There are wider implications: the question of bias in reporting and the lack of diversity in teaching as well as reporting the news.
One, published in Politico in October 2016, showed that about 91% of news coverage of candidate Trump was hostile.
Its editorial stated "We firmly believe that for a number of issues there are not two sides." A Pew Research Center report concludes that Buzzfeed is one of the most distrusted news sources in the U.S. On January 10, 2017 it published the Christopher Steele dossier alleging that the Russian government had been cultivating, supporting, and assisting Trump for years.
The fake news broadcast of the invasion, interrupted by piano solos of Debussy and Chopin and other orchestral music, was mistaken by many as a genuine news broadcast and caused panic among listeners.
Welles never clearly explained whether his intention was to create panic in the audience, but he did acknowledge that his Fake News was mistaken for a genuine news broadcast.
The troubling question is why Fake News is accepted by so many.
Lack of diversity, and consequent bias, in the media is clearly shown by a study of news coverage of the first 100 days of the Trump administration released by the Shorenstein Center at Harvard.
