I mean, the guy created websites with addresses that look like actual legitimate businesses and organizations then created a fake news story and people are surprised they spread?
http://www.washingtonpost.com.co

Just a quick glance and the average person will think its a legit story.
Unless, this guy though by people believing it he could then say that the Washington Post is putting out fake news and they can't be trusted and anything they say isn't true hoping it would help Hillary?
Seriously, I'm confused and think this guy over thought this and it backfired.
I don't remember seeing any stories on Facebook though about Hillary or Trump except for how great they are by doing or saying something good somewhere, but my friends on Facebook are pretty smart and don't argue on Facebook. It's bad to argue on Facebook for all to see how truly stupid you really are, lol.
It definitely makes you think this was his model:
1. Create fake news site.
2. ???
3. Laugh as the alt-right falls over their belief in the fake news sites.
