This election in particular, fake news was rampant. Moreso than in any previous US election. To the point that a fake/biased news site had as many shares as CNN on Facebook in November. And the top 20 shared fake stories (95% of which were anti-Clinton/pro-Trump) were shared more than legit stories.
