[Air-L] Fake News

[Yosem Companys]

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.

Thanks,
Yosem
