How to know if OP is right: Wait until December 

Nobody is doomed buddy, just freedom of speech in general will decrease.

I tell what the false flag coming will be:

The players in that scandal will suffer some kind of attack and it will cause such a commotion (like Charlie Ebdo for example) that the government and the MSM will HAVE TO stop the free alternative media.

Tons of channels will be suspended, terminated, twitters will be deleted, websites will be forced to ban users, things like that.

In the aftermath, it will be SJWs, cats meowing and Let´s Play videos, nothing more.

Yes the MSM is terrified. They have shown themselves this year to be deeply biased, incredibly corrupt (filled with people who were linked to the Hilary campaign for instance), engaging in censorship when things do not fit their narrative, obsessed with identity politics (labelling entire groups as racist and sexist when it suits them) and being out of touch with the reality of life for large swaths of the population.

So the MSM, as they have before, have gotten together to all push this narrative, all at the same time, to try and desperately claw back some power and respectability. Their viewership has never been lower, their readership has never been lower and people's trust in them has never been lower. They are garbage, and people are catching on. I just hope this 'fake news' bullshit doesn't make the pendulum start to swing back
