Fake news

Creators of fake news often find and use information from verified news sources, but then layer it with misinformation that can throw the reader off.

The layout of these fake websites "purposely designed to look as much like real news sites as possible." Cookies are another strategy that is used to spread specific fake news to a specific audience.
