Agree on 2. If only someone in the US administration really hated what he calls "Fake News" by established media and "Made-up anonymous sources".
"Won't anybody think of the poor economy! These unfounded stories are doing direct damage. Disclose your sources to the government or lose your Real News License."
I think you’re both grossly overestimating just how popular this story is beyond the tech world. This is hardly on the radar of most people, and not likely to move them to support any new laws or initiatives.
