The mainstream media is not perfect but I think propagandists also come up with their own fake news to discredit opponents.  Just look at the popularity of all those "news" sites.

Also, if you have totalitarian leanings, you can also nitpick MSM articles and accuse them as being "fake news". This would further erode trust on journalists, allowing you to continue what you're doing with little outrage from the population. While you're at, you can also make fake news of your own and stuff them inside your fanatic's echo chamber.

For an example of the real effect of information asymetry you can look for pictures of may 1 1986 in kiev...

To quote wikipedia:

On May 1, 1986, a few days after the Chernobyl nuclear accident, Soviet authorities held a traditional May Day parade on Khreshchatyk, in order to "calm people" and "prevent panic" caused by the disaster. Thousands of Kievans, including many children, were exposed to dangerous doses of radiation.[citation needed] All photographs of that celebration have mysteriously disappeared from the National Archives of Ukraine.

So as you can see it has nothing to do with politics (fair) and specially  markets (as the price has the potential to reveal the fact) but warfare. Generally information asymetry is used in fake politics to hide looting... sadly all loots will have a ground footprint:

A few examples, will you know whom they belong to?





For example why aren't the loots of the clinton exposed by the msm? Simple because those interests have still enough to buy the presstitutes. That why they aim to institutionalize themselves before they run of cash to buy their media coverage... but anyway how could they be lethal enough to  threathen Rt and happily it's not only their poorness relative to Beijing but their incompetences and mediocrity that make any attempt against the caligraphs laughtable...

Thanks to the crash of the fyre festival in the bahamas, the goal of fakenews is pretty clear!!!

They want to create information asymetry between them and us.

For example in the case of this music festival the few got early warning to not attend while the plebians (who considered themselves part of the few but weren't) were not informed.

So it's a war, there is no mercy to be had.

It's worst than to be able to exploit or harvest us on a continual basis, it's specially in emergency that they create it.

As for information asymmetry it sounds like a legitimate thing, but on researching further, including the wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_asymmetry it has the substance of Reaganomics
