The Amateur Ministry Of Disinformation
-
We've heard about the Macedonian teens who make up fake news for clicks, but we have our own home-grown fakers, like these two conscience-free Trump supporters in Long Beach who make up news for money and lulz; a lot of the crap you see shared on Facebook is made up by these two, who know that your attention will be given to stuff with the right headlines. They don't even try to match the headline with the story too tightly, because nobody actually reads the stories. Should Facebook take sites like this and flag them as fake, or is it caveat emptor?
