As with all things leftists, the opposite will happen to their stated intent. For example, they invent the term alt-right as if their labeling something makes it so. They do it trying to bring down the right and what happens, they get labeled snowflakes, too funny. I am not sure how their fake, fake news BS will pan out but I hope the irony is not lost on anyone.
The left wing are the liars of liars, they are the ones that invent fake news.
“You did not provide even a single example of ‘fake news’ allegedly distributed or promoted by Naked Capitalism or indeed any of the 200 sites on the PropOrNot blacklist,” James A. Moody writes. “You provided no discussion or assessment of the credentials or backgrounds of these so-called ‘researchers’ (Clint Watts, Andrew Weisburd, and J.M. Berger and the ‘team’ at PropOrNot), and no discussion or analysis of the methodology, protocol or algorithms such ‘researchers’ may or may not have followed.”

Alt Right came from Steve Bannon and friends. You know, the Steve Bannon who managed Breitbart?
And fake news stories not promoted by the right?
We Tracked Down A Fake-News Creator In The Suburbs. Here's What We Learned
He says he got into fake news around 2013 to highlight the extremism of the white nationalist alt-right.
"The whole idea from the start was to build a site that could kind of infiltrate the echo chambers of the alt-right, publish blatantly or fictional stories and then be able to publicly denounce those stories and point out the fact that they were fiction," Coler says.
He was amazed at how quickly fake news could spread and how easily people believe it. He wrote one fake story for NationalReport.net about how customers in Colorado marijuana shops were
using food stamps to buy pot.
"What that turned into was a state representative in the House in Colorado
proposing actual legislation to prevent people from using their food stamps to buy marijuana based on something that had just never happened," Coler says.
During the run-up to the presidential election, fake news really took off. "It was just anybody with a blog can get on there and find a big, huge Facebook group of kind of rabid Trump supporters just waiting to eat up this red meat that they're about to get served," Coler says. "It caused an explosion in the number of sites. I mean, my gosh, the number of just fake accounts on Facebook exploded during the Trump election."
Coler says his writers have tried to write fake news for liberals — but they just never take the bait.
Coler's company, Disinfomedia, owns many faux news sites — he won't say how many. But he says his is one of the biggest fake-news businesses out there, which makes him a sort of godfather of the industry.

It boils down to it doesn't matter who writes the stories, Republicans are so stupid (how stupid are they) that they will pick it up and run with it.
