It didn’t end with the Megyn Kelly news. Here are other fake news stories Facebook has included in Trending over the past six weeks, per the Washington Post:
• A satirical story about how the next iteration of the iPhone would be like “Aladdin’s lamp,” and that Siri would come out of the phone like a genie.
• A poll by the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, a conservative group that peddles scientifically discredited theories about HIV not causing AIDS and abortions causing breast cancer.
• A tabloid article that alleged 9/11 was the result of bombs planted in the Twin Towers and that there was footage to back up the theory.
• Yet another satirical story, this time about the Buffalo Bills.
