This article discusses the idea to how "democracy is drowning" due to  the rise in fake news and internet feedback. This would then talk about how the audience would be more prone to the fake news and make opinions based on false statements and facts. 

In my opinion, I will agree with how fake news has shaped the opinions of those that end up reading it. But it would also present how democracy is flawed in digital media. This flaw can be considered quite bad as it would have a negative influence on to how their audience would make their arguments online.
