BuzzFeed News identified more than 100 pro-Trump websites being run from a single town in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.
“This is the news of the millennium!” said the story on WorldPoliticus.com. Citing unnamed FBI sources, it claimed Hillary Clinton will be indicted in 2017 for crimes related to her email scandal.
“Your Prayers Have Been Answered,” declared the headline. For Trump supporters, that certainly seemed to be the case. They helped the baseless story generate over 140,000 shares, reactions, and comments on Facebook.
Meanwhile, roughly 6,000 miles away in a small town in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, a young man watched as money began trickling into his Google AdSense account.
What’s his handle here?
Uh, Hillary will be indicted, if plans move forward under Trump.
should be a headline here, wtf?
well maybe their credibility is slightly lower than the leftist MSM, but not by a lot....
Then change your nic to: “Sucker”
And it appears that you don’t care about the bias of either, from your comment.
sure
What a silly comment.
My comment does not imply anything about not “caring” about inaccuracy or bias.
I detest all inaccurate journalism. Humans are fallible but all should strive to be as objective as possible, especially in journalism.
Hmmm
This on same day Facebook says they will ax “false stories.”
Just trying to justify attacking conservatives like left woing Snopes does.
Sure you do. It’s why you begin sentences with “well maybe” followed by “but.”
Left wing Snopes probably will be the first line of defense against this nonsense.
Wow you are such a pitiful tool.
How do we know this isn’t a fake news story?
No, rather, I understand the English language. You tried to make a swipe at the American media, but all you accomplished was to appear indifferent to its bias.
True, but you don’t want to be sending money to folks who are pretending to, um, ....
.
.
yeah, never mind what I just said. We’re just five dollars away from indicting the beast! Operators are standing by now! MasterCard and Visa accepted!
What’s the point of this story? That fake stories in the Balkans swung the election for Trump? Or just what?
I fondly remember “African Press International” and its vaunted Michelle Obama “tape.” FReepers fell for that, too. These folks simply improved upon the API business model.
