Christopher Blair has made a living writing fake news about politicians as well as the president, Donal Trump. He makes sure to make his headlines as outrageous as possible, this then attracts readers and gets them interested enough to read his article. Blair does this not with the intent of informing but with the intent of falsifying and exaggerating news. Blair states, "No matter how ridiculous, how obviously fake, or how many times you tell the same taters . . . they will still click that 'like' and hit that share button." This proves that even though his stories are obviously fake, it is enough to make them believe them.
