Fake News is a real problem. I don't think fake news affected the election. Both the MSM, liberal, and conservative sites have propagated fake news unknowingly in many cases. I just discovered a so-called Conservative web site that is propagating fake news. I'm assuming it is a Media Matters backed web site that is purposefully spewing fake news in order to discredit other legitimate conservative news sites. Take for instance this article:
It claims that 6 Republicans took money from the Clinton Foundation after Trump got the nomination. This will not only propagate fake news making the Trumpsters look bad, but also sows strife in the Rep party. I decided to check wikileaks and this email #1078645 does not exist. I did several searches and still nothing. I then asked the author Michael Kohl who has no bio and probably just took the fake name from Kohls department store to please provide the link to the actual email. My comment was deleted twice. All Conservatives should blacklist this site. Do not retweet or follow any of these individuals:
