1. Here are a few paragraphs

...

Instead, Wade hums a hip-hop song and starts a new post as readers keep reading, sharing and sending in personal messages. One comes from a woman who frequently contacts his page. “YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE I TRUST TO REPORT THE TRUTH,” is one of the things she has written, and Wade doesn’t need to look at her Facebook profile to have a clear sense of who she is. White. Working class. Midwestern. “And the economy screwed her.”

He writes another headline, “THE TRUTH IS OUT! The Media Doesn’t Want You To See What Hillary Did After Losing... .”

“Nothing in this article is anti-media, but I’ve used this headline a thousand times,” he says. “Violence and chaos and aggressive wording is what people are attracted to.”

“Our audience does not trust the mainstream media,” Goldman, 26, says a little later as Wade keeps typing. “It’s definitely easier to hook them with that.”

3. Notice the advertisers that pay for fake news clicks

Bogus cures, treatments, fake celebrity porn...

Advertisers who crave a gullible audience hit the jackpot: Trump supporters.

4. I Saw A Piece On 60 Minutes That Over 100 Fake News Sites Were Published By Teenagers In Morroco...

The story went on to explain that these teenagers would post over the top completely false stories that catered to Pro Trump & Anti Hillary individuals so that they would click on the link to be able to steal peoples identity. The one young man that came forward was quoted as saying the more over the top, the more far fetched the headline was, the more people would 'share' it & 'like' it.

So while financial gain was the motive for these 100+ Morrocan Teenagers, Instead They Helped Ensure The Downfall Of Our Democracy!!!

Glad Facebook Is Finally Doing Something, However Unfortunately It's A Little Too Late..
