Just Some Guy, Interested in Republican Politics, Needing Money, Breaking Democracy

Great story by Scott Shane of the New York Times on Cameron Harris and his fake-news concoctions.

“Asked whether he felt any guilt at having spread lies about a presidential candidate, Mr. Harris grew thoughtful. But he took refuge in the notion that politics is by its nature replete with exaggerations, half-truths and outright whoppers, so he was hardly adding much to the sum total.”

The good news is that his most important motivation, being able to earn money, was wiped away by Google and Facebook… so hopefully, there will be fewer independents out there spreading lies.
