Clinton blasts 'epidemic' of fake news
Clinton blasts 'epidemic' of fake newsHillary Clinton on Thursday decried the spread of fake news online, calling it an "epidemic" that Congress should take action against.
"The epidemic of malicious fake news and false propaganda that flooded social media over the past year - it's now clear the so-called fake news can have real-world consequences," Clinton said during a speech on Capitol Hill.
Some Democrats have argued the spread of anti-Clinton fake news online contributed to her electoral loss to Donald Trump.
