This is the sound of rats deserting a sinking ship.

The SS Trumptanic, as another poster called it.

This is one big business "deal" for these guys and, in typical fashion, they're just shaking it off as if it's no big deal.

interesting article, among you'll find this:

Since 1989, Snow has fronted Channel 4 News, which this week dedicated a chunk of every nightly one-hour broadcast to reporting on fake news. Much of the show’s work has focussed on the extremes: lies that are written to be circulated around hyper-partisan communities on sites like Facebook and earn their authors money. In November Channel 4 News uncovered a cottage industry in a Macedonian town of people circulating stories of pure fiction.

These claimed, among other things, that Hillary Clinton was a paedophile and had sold weapons to Islamic State.
The programme’s editor Ben De Pear believes Facebook “makes it too easy” to earn money from the advertising around these hoax stories. He has called out the social media site for also profiting from them while not doing enough to stop them.


and this:



''The idea Pope Francis might’ve backed Trump is quite a disturbing thing, which might make people think ‘Trump may not be as bad as he looks. And as a Catholic, I think we should give him a chance’. You might never lose that feeling despite it being proven it’s phony. That’s worrying,” Snow says.
