It’s 2016, and the information is easy. The internet is chock-full of stories disseminated by everyone from the New York and LA Times to the Wall Street Journal… and New York Post. But other journalism websites that are not so well-known are spreading what they call "news," as well. Those sites make a lot of things up for partisan gain. Some of it is to sway voters. A lot of it is to make money.
The truth is out there… but at what cost?
