The Conservative Daily Post??? Ha, ha, pretty funny. That's like citing the National Enquirer as a legitimate news source. You need to come up with a real news source, pal.
The Conservative Daily Post is a website based in Las Vegas whose goal is to "do our part to destroy the 'politically correct' behavior that has inhibited true liberty and democracy in America for so long." Not quite a "non-biased" agenda. Typical of recent headlines: "FBI confirms evidence of huge Clinton underground sex network". Fact checkers gave this statement a "pants on fire" rating.

This rush of fake news, extreme websites and such are really concerning.

I recall when, even on this site, the joke was that you could justify a UFO or alien on the internet because you could find a site that would justify that for you.

NOW.....it is real and sadly people turn to these website for whatever reason, and they just keep going where directed by their party, their whatever until they say....oh, now I see and they are looking at modified, false information. On this site, the references to things are amazing.....actual FACTS simply dismissed by a website that has a motive other than presenting the truth.

It is scary and this particular campaign made it stand out quite a bit.

Not sure the answer...I posted this link and a few sentences from it, but of course was met with the usual sarcasm. I suggest that you can agree or disagree but it is a beginning and understanding this problem is important to this country in my opinion.

Donald Trump and the Rise of Alt-Reality Media - POLITICO Magazine

And please understand, I am aware that both sides of the aisle manufacture this crap. This particular campaign it was heavy fomr the right, and Trumps long history with the alt right make it easy but I understand both sides have it.
