Christopher Blair writes fake news about Donald Trump and he is very smart about how he does so. His media outlet is Facebook. Blair knows that there are many different fake news outlets and therefore the perfect audience. "He had launched his new website on Facebook during the 2016 presidential campaign...", planning his debut perfectly. He utilizes Facebook as a leverage tool to influence a majority of politically uninformed readers. Facebook also allows his posts to be shared and spread throughout the community, therefore allowing for more exposure and a more expansive audience. This proves the great influence social media has on people's everyday life.
