Facebook owner Mark Zuckwhatever has admitted they are making changes to try and do away with the "fake news" stories. As are other sites/providers of Social Media.
To believe fake news stories do not have some influence on some people is just silly. Of course they do. Enough to sway a National Election? Probably not.
Flip this coin over and imagine what would be going on here and in the Nation.............if Clinton had won, and all these fake news stories lambasted Trump, and over 8 million people admitted to having read the stories......
goodness.............just imagine what would be going on here and in the Nation
