but twitter itself is *not* news.Twitter is not news dummy. You are referencing PROPAGHANDA on social media.You just described PROPAGHANDA not news.Most of the fake news shared on social media is coming from right-wing conservatives, an Oxford study has found
"
LIBERALS DON’T SHARE OR BELIEVE FAKE NEWS AS MUCH AS RIGHT-WINGERS, STUDY FINDS"
Yep, they're more likely to share and believe fake news. No one should be surprised at this.
For the people who do not understand how the fake news spread and is still spreading..
Fake Russian websites popped up and linked to millions of fake news bots during the 2016 election..
This fake stories spread across social media, many landing here..when you clicked on the link it looked like a true story..
Everytime that you typed in google a word, you would be directed to these fake news sites
Fk-ng Trump doesn't mention the dangers of the Russians hacking us , but instead he does a dumbass fake news award show..
This man is as dumb as a doorknob..
.
It seems it is you who does not understand what fake news is.
This is factual ... not conspiracy, not propaganda ..It is FACT Gramps.. Go look it up..very very important..
Go read what Twitter has reported on this. below are a few I provided..if you don't understand I can help you or send you in the direction to find the answer.
Russian Bots retweeted 470000 times
Russian bots retweeted Trump 470,000 times in election run-up
Twitter: 677K+ U.S. Users Engaged With Fake Russian Accounts
Twitter: 677K+ U.S. Users Engaged With Fake Russian Accounts
SOCIAL MEDIA IS NOT NEWS
Come on Gramps, you are a smart guy..go read up on it .. We are so used to conspiracy theories and Trump not calling this what it is, so many still do not know or understand how bad this was..
Again...what happened was millions of bots picked up the fake news and spread it across the internet, and we saw it on here too as legit news..
You don't do twitter so I can understand your not knowing what kind of impact it had and still doesn't have on Americans.
And yes, news stories break all of the time from top news sources. on twitter..this is where most news stories break.
.
and MILLIONS of bots only retweeted 470k times? i'd want a bot refund.
