I tried reading this article twice. It makes no sense to me...
I hope she’s trying to say that the left and the DNC, and Clinton purposely pushed Fake News at every opportunity. When she says it back fired, I’m not sure what she means. It back fired because Trump made it back fire and called them out, but they continued and continue to this day.
Every single thing coming out of Schiff’s mouth is fake, also Schumer. So, this whole strategy continues.
Eric Schmidt=fake news is what she is saying.
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.
