    How Fake News Goes Viral: A Case Study

    "Around 6 p.m., the conservative blog Gateway Pundit posted a story using Mr. Tucker’s images under the headline “Figures. Anti-Trump Protesters Were Bussed in to Austin #FakeProtests.” The post, which included a mention of “Soros money,” has been shared on Facebook more than 44,000 times, according to statistics on the website.

    The story line became a prominent one throughout the conservative blogosphere, with other sites incorporating Mr. Tucker’s tweet into posts about paid protesters, referring to him as an eyewitness in Austin. "

    There was a fake picture of the Santa Fe HS shooter with a HRC hat within 20 minutes of his being identified.

        Don't click on them - the titles give them away. Easier to avoid then random generator guy who tries to ruin almost every thread.

          I feel the same. I am a liberal disgusted with Trump and the GOP, but this is hardly the place for it. Why are the moderators allowing it?
