The Trump administration is giving bloggers and other online 'news outlets' previously unheard of press access and credentials. I would find these blogs and 'news' sources (I personally find their journalistic pedigree laughable) and aggressively track their headlines and content. Scrape all data and train neural networks on them to generate headlines and content. Either hire a cheap college student to do some quick once-over editing or do it yourself. Then, automate a publishing pipeline - it could be as simple as Lua script that samples from the NN and then pushes to a wordpress or blog. You can do all of this on a $750 dollar computer (just splurge on the GPU). The real trick is crafting the facebook posts. So I would watch to see what breaking news alerts happened and then tweak the generated content based on that and then dump a few dollars to promote the post that had a great headline + FB commentary, not to mention a catchy picture. Once you build an audience, ad money will roll in and I don't just mean AdWords. Focus on native content and tweak your generation algorithm for each brand sponsor you acquire (trust me, if you have a few thousand uniques a day you'll have people knocking on your door esp if its a conservative slant since more small business owners in America tend to lean that way). I've played around with generating Breitbart headlines and the results are sometimes scarily close to home. It's also key to generate "think pieces" and other opinion material so that way you can produce content that isn't necessarily "news" (and thus less reliant on 'timely' data which is expensive to acquire since it takes time to train the NN on new data) but are still able to propagate repeatable viewpoints/headlines i.e. 'facts' in our time, which is how you build your audience and revenue stream. The genius part of this is that even if your cover is blown, you will be hailed as a thought leader because of your subversive enterprise. It has all the requisite crossover buzz: machine learning, fake news, alternative facts, 'bubbles', distrust of media etc. You can easily pick up some television and other media spots not to mention the tell-all piece for Vice or Esquire. For inspiration and more information, read up on Vladislav Surkov. Also check out the latter half of the videogame Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, which not only predicted the rise of memes as political discourse, but also does an excellent job examining media disinformation techniques (in this case, the hysteria of Y2K) and the use of AI to control public conversation. Have fun.
