Amid reports of porn aired on CNN last night . . . will fake news drive traffic back to real news

After the 2016 election cycle,  and the on going “threat” of Fake News, will people return to trusted sources for thier news? And do those “trusted” sources deserve their trust?

Fact-checking largely didn’t begin until the stories were published. The @solikearose account has since turned private, and there don’t seem to be any reports of porn airing on CNN last night. RCN also released statements on twitter saying there is no evidence that porn was aired last night in Boston
