“The number of partisan-backed outlets designed to look like impartial news outlets has officially surpassed the number of real, local daily newspapers in the U.S., according to a new analysis,” Axios reports.
“Many of those sites are targeted to swing states — a clear sign that they’re designed to influence politics.”
“There are least 1,265 websites identified as being backed by dark money or are intentionally masquerading as local news sites for political purposes.”
