Fake news has supplanted real news
Alternative facts have supplanted real facts
Streamed news/information has created noise that has diluted important news
Selective data has supplanted material data

The Trumpian ecosystem has fully employed this and perfected it, but the traditionally left-of-center are doing it too (albeit to a far lesser extent, and fewer outright lies, more information selectivity).
