1970s BJ State Desk reporter Cathy Robinso Strong has an excellent
article about fake news.
Some make $3,000 a day doing it. They don’t care about the people
or causes they write about; just about how fat a check they get.
Trump articles brought in thousands of dollars to those who wrote
fake news about him. One guy made $110,000 because, he said, "Trump supporters will believe anything."
59% “share” the fake news by clicking on the headline and NOT
reading the article, let alone fact-checking it.
Cathy is a senior lecturer for Massey University in Wellington, New
Zealand, where Cathy has been a kiwi for decades.
