Oh well then, please provide some support for your claim - whereas "majority" is explained.

Just for fun, I'd ask for him to post the actual content from the NPR article that confirm his statement above, but he'll be incapable of doing that.
Um, that is the quote from the the NPR article....a.k.a. the "content". But perhaps you are claiming that Laura Sydell of NPR created some "Fake News"?
nice reading discernment there, canny.

Quote the actual text from the article that you believe matches what you are stating above, then.
Let’s take a look at your command of the language. ; )

I'm curious what source actually cued subs into this story. I'd bet that whatever brietbart knockoff he was browsing gave us that first line.
Not too hard to find.
“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists.”
― Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism, 1951
I should have phrased it better. I'm curious if subs will admit that his headline isn't found in the source he provided and own up to his real source. I'm skeptical he will.

Wha? do you mean that reality can be altered?
Well, not actual reality but altering someone's perception of reality is close enough.
Like the RNC playbook says, "You can't fool all the people all of the time, so our goal in 2020 will be to fool a sufficient percentage to get Trump reelected".
Reporter at Whitehouse Press Briefing - What about this video footage of President Trump handing Vladimir Putin a briefcase labeled "Launch Codes"?
Huckabee Sanders - That was a takeout bento box for President Putin which should have read Lunch Cods. I've been told it is a favorite in Japan. Next question.

He won't, but he clearly did not come up with the headline on his own, nor did he simply copy the headline from the article he linked to. Why would he link to one article while providing a headline from a different article? He probably copied the headline from one of his alt-right propaganda sites brietbart/infowars/rushlimbaugh/stormfront, but even he knows that those sources suck, so he linked it to the original story on npr. Ironic that he used a false click-bait headline to post a story about fake news.
