Bivona Digital

Story is behind a paywall, but the punch line is: check the fine print on your news feed. If it's Bivona Digital, then you're reading made up stories written in Macedonia and edited in the US. Made up stories on different web sites to fuel outrage the left and right and get clicks. F*cking with the minds of those who gravitate online towards extreme political views is a business model now. Corollary: the more extreme the views, the less informed the bearer of those views.

I don't fall for click bait news, like I don't send money to Nigerians. Or Macedonians(I think I know where that is). When the same fifteen guys write the stuff it's easy to see the pattern. Remember all that Cosby, Colin Powell sillyness a few years back?. I don't even watch too much of the real news. Maybe 1% of the "impeachment" stuff. Short attention span(I watched zero of the OJ trial). I have visited some crazy websites that are supposedly about "politics". It's mostly kids talking loud with the occasional well thought out essay.

So this guy is selling trash so he can afford to publish real news someday? That's like a a college student selling crack to pay for his medical school. I guess.
