You're preaching to the choir, Chris. What's accurate news for one group may be fake news for another. News is socially constructed. What I wanted to know is whether there are any studies showing how news (fake or accurate, if you will) influenced voter behavior, particular Trump supporters' voter behavior.

I was emphasizing that the focus of my question is on the sharing of fake news via social media. God knows that fake news as a phenomenon has existed for thousands of years.

Anyone know of any academic studies showing that fake (social media) news influenced the 2016 presidential election outcome?
