My take on Sharyl’s research is that leftists were trying to get a message out that conservative news sites were untrustworthy, dealing in “fake news.” Therefore, rely on the old lamestream media only (CNN, PMSNBC, NY Slimes, etc.) instead of these upstart, conservative sites (Breitbart, Daily Caller, etc.) which are peddling fake stories. That way, only propaganda from accepted leftist sites would be believed.
Despite a lot of money and lot of effort by the leftists, it didn’t work.
Ok, now that makes sense. Yes, and in the end, it backfired, because the liberals were actually sending out Fake News reports, maybe if not intentionally, they did it because they were partisan and incompetent.
THANK YOU FOR CLEARING THAT UP FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
That was clear enough. The way it is written could be confusing because of quoting Sharyl who was quoting others. But you are right.
