One hilarious exercise is to check your favorite fake news URL's in archive.org and also try a whois lookup.
Some of these operators are incredibly sloppy using (presumably) real home addresses. Their "origin story" on archive.org is equally sloppy-- immediately starting with primitive, thoughtless slurs against their targets and sometimes a glimpse into the genuine interests of the operator.
Unfortunately, these people don't have to be clever to "get the job done." Stupid is perfectly OK, when the only way of dealing with this problem is effectively a game of wack-a-mole.
