I would be careful with anything politico's says about fake news or anything for that matter.
"In November 2013, The Washington Post wrote a lengthy article detailing a payola scandal in which Allen would give favorable Politico coverage in return for advertising dollars.[10] Mr. Allen has refused to publicly comment.[11] Jonathan Chait described Politico's response as 'evasive tripe'.[12] Writing in Salon, Alex Pareene described his work as "indistinguishable from a paid advocate for business interests."

Politico is a well known "fake news" money grubbing operation. Their "news" stories are pretty much paid advertisements.
- filmgirlcw 9y agoAnd Mike Allen is no longer with Politco (he left to co-found Axios), which makes your complaint erroneous and unfounded. Moreover, this article has interviews with the very fact-checkers Facebook has partnered with to try to stop "fake news," as well as comment from Facebook itself.
