The irony is how easily the "fake news" crowd falls for fake news

1. Many of them know it's fake news but approve as long as it fits the agenda.

A person I went to school with many moons ago said that she doesn't care if something she posts on social media is true or not as long as it says what she wants it to say. I think that's more prevalent than any of us might realize.

2. The National Enquirer online...and tons of other online sites too...all with fake news...

People have always needed to exercise a little bit of education when reading/watching/absorbing the news, when intelligently presented (as opposed to faux news, which hypes facets of 'so called' news/or make up their own 'news' to gen viewership, etc.). Faux News is a good example of this and if anything, they should not call themselves a News show. Very misleading.

Unfortunately, as we all know, a heck of a lot of people don't decipher or balance their responses in reading fake or real news.

I suspect that these are the folks that will be taken advantage of by scam artists, and other online cons...that seem to always be present.

You would think by now people would have figured out things by now, in determining what's fake and what's not, since the beginning of the online world in the 1980's (w/ AOL and other ISPs/Internet Service Providers). Obviously not. I guess I'm giving more credit to people than I should.

4. That's because fake news is created for THEM, not for educated, thinking people

... in other words, US. We don't fall for those lies, they do.
