This problem isn't just websites and social media.

Not mentioned in the article but pink slime sites also send out printed newspapers that look like what traditional newspapers look like except a lot thinner.

It arrives in your mailbox and plenty of people have no idea it's a complete partisan advertisement disguised as news. Some assume it's just partisan news like most news is now.

They saturate mailboxes and are probably effective at reaching older voters who are much more likely to vote.

Nobody seems to remember that the original newspapers were also...partisan tripe.
