BRACK: Pay-for-play fake news sites popping up in USA, Gwinnett

By Elliott Brack  |  Fake news websites are now riding on the credibility that standard newspapers have built over the years to get their false messages out. Insidiously, they are creating what looks like everyday newspapers and web sites, making the reader think their sites are from old, established media. These sites are really newly-created propaganda machines, wanting to convince you that their stories are real.

FOCUS: Here’s why gullible public is taken in by fake news

By Norman Baggs, Gainesville, Ga. | When I started in the newspaper business 40-plus years ago, I never imagined that before my career was done there would be a national dialogue on how to keep a gullible public from being misinformed by the proliferation of “fake news.”
