GOP’s shady “news” websites: Republicans get into the propaganda game

...fake-news writer says he makes over $10,000 per month, and thinks he helped get Donald Trump elected

38-year-old Paul Horner, who runs a network of viral fake-news site (he calls them satire), has been making a living off the practice for years. And he's big. He says he makes $10,000 per month from Google's AdSense alone, the source of most of his revenue.

But Horner says that with the rise of Trump, fake news has reached a whole new level.
"It's real scary," he told The Washington Post. "I've never seen anything like it."

"My sites were picked up by Trump supporters all the time," Horner continued. "I think Trump is in the White House because of me. His followers don't fact-check anything — they'll post everything, believe anything. His campaign manager posted my story about a protester getting paid $3,500 as fact. Like, I made that up. I posted a fake ad on Craigslist."

Prime example of fake news
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...s-planning-to/

Trump claimed almost this same thing during the campaign--that Ford WAS moving production to Mexico...and Ford denied it as a lie...but few media sources picked up the story that Trump was lying...lying because Ford sent him a statement saying it was a lie that he ignored.
Now that he is president-elect, Trump is taking credit for the plant staying in the US when it NEVER was going to Mexico in first place...
Trump did nothing but lie both times...

Tell a lie often enough and people will believe It is the truth...
