Fake news can spread quickly, especially fake news that confirms what people want to be true. In a stark example of the virality of fake news, “Fake News Masterpiece,” created by Cameron Harris, generated over $20,000 in ad revenue. Harris fabricated a story about an electrical worker finding pre-filled ballots for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election. This story took off, in part, due to the accusations by then-candidate Trump that the election would be rigged against him.
