Bet you never heard of this guy. I sure hadn’t before reading the article.
And the article comes up with this:
The Birth of Fake News
Mid-2016
. A stream of made-up stories, many about U.S. politics, is spotted on Bizzfeed
. Many of the stories originate from Veles in Macedonia
. They trend on Facebook and other platforms – the creators earn advertising revenue
November 2016
. Donald Trump wins the US presidential election
. Google and Facebook pledge to stop advertising income for “fake news”
But, you can bet it’s still around and Blair and his buddies are still around.
