Fake election stories got more engagement on Facebook than top election stories from 19 major news outlets combined https://www.buzzfeed.com/craigsilver...RPo#.mpRxNrDp5 …
NOW Azor the analysis of these fake sites show an major amount of the fakes articles pertained to alleged Clinton corruption...crazy stories about the emails downloaded by WikiLeaks...AND this is critical....a large number centered around of set of totally faked and doctored emails that were part and parcel of the WikiLeaks dump....NOW this is not "information warfare"...BUT WAIT some call it "freedom of the press"......and "free speech" BUT WAIT when it is designed to undermine the core principles of democracy THEN what is it????I would love to post the locations of IP addresses of the servers pushing these sites but I am restricted by my customer......might be an eye opener for you and other Americans....
BTW....there is a Chrome add-on floating around on the net that allows Chrome to indicate if the site is fake or not...
.@selectall made a Chrome extension that will flag fake-news site for you. Super smart.

Azor the reason these fake sites are dangerous is the way the current 24 hour news cycle works.....we tracked one particular European based fake news article into the US....then watched it get picked up SIX other fakes sites....then it was further picked up by the right wing radio talk media quoting these fakes sites as if they were real news and then made the leap into the standard MSM as they assumed wrongly the article was true AS they failed to simply fact check...this is what we call the Post truth...period...
