Inside a Fake News Sausage Factory: 'This Is All About Income'
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/25/world/europe/fake-news-donald-trump-hillary-clinton-georgia.html
Jobless and with graduation looming, a computer science
student at the premier university in the nation of Georgia
decided early this year that money could be made from
America's voracious appetite for passionately partisan
political news. He set up a website, posted gushing stories
about Hillary Clinton and waited for ad sales to soar. "I
don't know why, but it did not work," said the student, Beqa
Latsabidze, 22, who was savvy enough to change course when he
realized what did drive traffic: laudatory stories about
Donald J. Trump that mixed real -- and completely fake -- news
in a stew of anti-Clinton fervor.

The correct term is "Internet" NOT "internet" -- please don't
fall into the trap of using the latter. It's just plain wrong!
