And Commie loons have believed for the past TWO years that Russia stole the election LOL..just a bunch of whiny lil p*ssies who can’t stand the fact that they LOST
Ha! Yes! Typo on my part!
I was thinking after I posted that how Yahoo strikes me as antiquated as not only NewsWEAK but also America Online.They need to find a mind-numbed but wealthy buyer as soon as possible!

“Fake news on fake news. Why do they even bother?”
Exactly. This story in of itself is FAKE NEWS.
Hilarious nonsense. But I guess we don’t need the Russian bots now do we. How much do you want to bet the news stories in question are all true.
Fake News from a premiere Fake News Outlet.

Hehehehehe....ain't I a stinker?
According to a bunch of “Yahoos.”
If I read this correctly, Breitbart was tagged as fake news and then Trump supporters share Breitbart stories a lot. I’ve always found Breitbart stories to be pretty serious. They can shove this fake study up their s@@th@les.
Wasn’t Yahoo the single press group gullible enough to print Steele’s info; which was then used as validation for the FISA warrant?
Seems Yahoo is amongst the least credible sources in the world.
Breitbart is the example. They considered any Breitbart story to be false.
10 Feb: Fox News: Oxford study saying Trump supporters share more fake news is fake news
By Elizabeth Harrington, Washington Free Beacon
Researchers at the Computational Propaganda Project, who are the recipients of over $200,000 in taxpayer funding, spent “several years” developing its “junk news” list, which is actually full of the most popular conservative websites on the internet.
Websites on the researchers’ “watch list” of propaganda news outlets include the Washington Free Beacon, the Daily Caller, National Review, and the Drudge Report, which is the seventh most highly visited media publication in the United States.
Contrary to the claim that conservatives are sharing the most fake news, the study proves nothing other than finding conservatives tend to share conservative media online.

9 Feb: Washington Free Beacon: The Oxford study saying Trump supporters share more fake news is fake news
And taxpayers paid for it
by Elizabeth Harrington
The purpose of Oxford’s Computational Propaganda Project is to analyze how social media can be used to “manipulate public opinion.”
Media outlets seized on the study. The Huffington Post reported, “Trump supporters consume and share the most fake news.” “Fake news sharing in US is a rightwing thing, says study,” said the Guardian. “Trump supporters share the most ‘junk’ news, conspiracy theories: study,” wrote Salon. “Trump supporters spread the majority of phony news on social media,” according to Mother Jones. The Financial Times: “Hard right dominates use of fake US news, Oxford study finds.”
Newsweek, the Week, and the Independent covered the study in the same way...PLUS MUCH MORE

Tim Pool on youtube laid out some of the major problems with this study, which at least call in to question the magnitude of the conclusions.. Their definition of Junk News is weak.
Or coming from anyplace other than the sites and news outlets they deem as credible.
[[a new study from Oxford University]]
At one time Oxford was a real University
Now it’s a fake institution that churns our trash.
Oh how the mighty have fallen .
