my notes ( ? )

That fake news shifted copies had been known since the earliest days of printing... So what if they weren’t true?

Peddlers of fake stories have no reputation to maintain and no incentive to stay honest ... Trump supporters were more likely to click and share bogus stories ... fake news is again a profitable business... mechanism that held fake news in check ... bundle of stories from an organisation with a reputation to protect – no longer works.
