In the wake of President Trump's election, Washington Post op-ed columnist Dana Milbank questions whether the media should have given him so much free publicity and the role of journalists in an age where people can filter out the news they don't want to hear. He also questions the ethics of Wikileaks and muses on the misuse of the term 'fake news' - particularly by President Trump - to diminish unflattering coverage. Is propaganda on the rise and can journalists do anything about it?
