GOP legislative aide fired for running $22k fake news site

[Bladewire]

Do the damage then hang the patsy out to dry. He made $22k for lies.

----

A Republican legislative aide in Maryland who was behind a fake news site that accused Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton of election-rigging was fired Wednesday.

Del. David E. Vogt III (R-Frederick) said he terminated Cameron Harris ?on the spot? after learning that he was the hamastermind behind ChristianhaTimesNewspaper.com and its fabricated Sept. 30 article, which reported that there were tens of thousands of ?fraudulent Clinton votes found? in an Ohio hawarehouse.

Harris told the Times that he created fake news to earn money. After investing $5 for the domain name, he earned about $22,000 in online advertising revenue.

In an interview with the Times, Harris expressed guilt for spreading lies but also a sense of pride in doing it so well.

?At first it kind of shocked me ? the response I was getting,? he said. ?How easily people would believe. It was almost like a sociological experiment.?

One thing is certain, you can make a lot of money taking advantage of dumb right wing bats. They will literally believe anything as long as it's something they like.

The churches have been draining their pockets for years.

Time Warner, CNN's parent company, makes about $7 billion per quarter.

I couldn't find what part of that amount was generated by fake news channel CNN, but I am sure it beats the OP's fake news channel of $22k

Just to clarify something here for you and the rest that keep pointing at CNN and other mainstream media as "Fake News".

CNN and most other major mainstream media do not MAKE UP stories. They sometimes report something that is not accurate because their sources were not accurate. They sometimes may not practice wonderful journalistic standards in what they report BUT they generally do not make up stories.

There are the occasional fabrications such as Brian Williams exagerations about his combat experiences that slip in under the radar.

But that is NOT FAKE NEWS.

Fake News is the made up shit like the story referenced here, or the Swift Boat ads back when Kerry ran. There is more and more of it out there but pretty much the mainstream media is not guilty of it.

Your labeling Mainstream Media as Fake news at every chance you get just adds to the noise level rather than offering anything worthwhile ot the discussion.

Websites should be required to be compiled to work.

I will compile your websites for $5.

Honestly, Was it ever hard to make a website? Did hosting costs keep things out of the common man? HTML tags were easy, The sites looked plane, but it wasn't hard to do.
