Fake news websites played a large part in the online news community during the election, reinforced by extreme exposure on Facebook and Google.[35] Approximately 115 pro-Trump fake stories were shared on Facebook a total of 30 million times, and 41 pro-Clinton fake stories shared a total of 7.6 million times.[36] There were two main reasons for creating fake news, economical and ideological.[36] The teenagers in Veles, for example, produced stories favoring both Trump and Clinton that earned them tens of thousands of dollars.[37] Some fake news providers seek to advance candidates they favor. The Romanian man who ran endingthefed.com, for example, claims that he started the site mainly to help Donald Trump's campaign.[4]
