hol up
sorry for going so tinfoil on this but what if these big news sites are using it to further push the whole 'alternative news is fake news' thing that they've been trying to push lately
like it is possible they could use this and put the fake story blame on them
but it never even happened
and it's "fake news" not "alternative news," stuff like "omg obama is literally a satanist alien who came to earth to destroy us!!!! the end is nigh!!!" not "[insert right-wing opinion here]"
