This story was really interesting, as well.

Fake news has escalated to an actual social problem.

To be fair, tabloids were already doing this long before this racket went online

EDIT:
And the tabloids are also, of course, still doing this. Every time I'm in the checkout line at the supermarket I have to look at some headline alledging that Obama is a communist muslim who's in this country illegally and possibly alsp some kind of lizard.
Praise NHGH! For the tribulation of all sentient beings.

Unfortunately the weekly world news, which was the best of them, seems to have gone out of business.

Turns out the GOP might have gotten too greedy.  They included in the ACA repeal the defunding of planned parenthood.  This will cost them 2 republican votes, and they already lost Rand Paul for other reasons.

which means they may have to try again.
