And when I say fake news, this is real fake news, not fake fake news that is real news that Donald Trump just doesn’t like. There is a difference. See, the Russians have an internet troll operation that created fake news stories, then spread those stories using a network of hijacked PC’s in order to “fool users into believing misinformation by artificially increasing shares and retweets.” Because if enough people say something is popular, I might trust that it’s good. It’s like how if one person tells me “Transformers” is a good movie, I might not see it, but if everyone on Facebook is raving about it, I’ll go.
