While Clinton cronies definitely were on the fake news bandwagon (BlueNationReview et al), fake news shared virally is far more popular with the right (85% of the top 20 fake news stories were pro-Trump/anti-Hillary).

I'm not even sure what Blue Nation Review is, but it looks like pure sewage, the sort of thing that Digg was like in its dark days.

Blue Nation Review was a progressive news website. At the end of 2015, it was bought by Clinton surrogate David Brock (of writing The Real Anita Hill, the character assassination book to discredit Anita Hill so Clarence could become a justice of the Supreme Court). Staff of BNR were fired and it was turned into a Clinton propaganda machine with mostly pro-Hillary, anti-Bernie, and anti-Trump stores. BNR's 1 million subscribers on social media had no idea that this happened.

Whatever it is, it has the look and smell of a tabloid and probably the credibility of one.

Sites like that are part of the problem.
