People share fake news when it fits the narrative they want to believe. You are very rarely fooled by fake news that works against your beliefs, because you'll want to investigate that first.


This is very true. I have been duped by fake news that told me something I wanted to believe before.


I think that's pretty natural. "Oh this just sounds right!" - something like that you won't look into. That's why you have to be careful on sources, etc, so that you know you're following actual news and not just what you want to hear.

Which, again, is why I found sharing that racist meme so damning.
