I found this article on Medium. Far-right misinformation spreads like wildfire on Facebook. A bunch of interesting questions are raised: are far-right viewers less able to spot fake news? Do they know it’s fake and pass it along for the lulz? Is it due to right-wingers being mostly older and having lots of free time to click on stuff? Whatever it is, Facebook is right up there with Fox on spreading falsehoods to right-wingers.
Far right news sources on Facebook more engaging
Unlike other news across the political spectrum, no “misinformation penalty” for far-right pages
