I was gonna say, a few references and sources would be fucking nice.
Sometimes bullshit gets spread in places like this without sources specifically to make us look like fools. Fake news doesn't end up on the right without some kind of malicious intent. It's not the same as fake news on the left where they have a good chance of controlling the thoughts of the majority. Genuinely pro-left fake news can have a reason to be spread. But there is no genuine pro-right fake news. If it's fake it only hurts us, and can't lead so a society wide hegemony of thought. Creators of fake news targeting the right understand this. It is intended to harm the right.
I mostly agree, but there are still idiots who's heart is in the right place. A lot of the junk originates with them and gets spread around by people who don't validate stories, which is almost everyone.
