An easy place to find fake news would be Facebook. While they are upping their news system, fake news still manages to slip through. An older article called: “FBI AGENT SUSPECTED IN HILLARY EMAIL LEAKS FOUND DEAD IN APPARENT MURDER SUICIDE” had roughly around 568,000 shares as well as 15.5 million interactions (likes, comments, reactions) despite it being completely fake. The town that was mentioned in the article does not even exist. It had such a big impact on people that “the story was so egregious that The Denver post, felt it had to run it’s own article denying any connection to the fake news whatsoever.” [1 image, 2 links, 1 quote, 114 words]
