These Trump supporters confronted with the truth about fake news is quite the watch

CNN reporter Donie O’Sullivan went out to meet some Donald Trump supporters to ask them about what they read on social media.

In particular, he was keen to know if they believed some of the fake news being pumped out about Trump’s presidential rival, Joe Biden, and how they felt when told it wasn’t true.

It’s a revealing, frustrating and mildly terrifying watch.

We went to a Trump rally to ask people what they see in their Facebook feeds.

Seeing the rise of QAnon candidates is completely unsurprising once you understand the kind of stuff that many people have been served every day for years on Facebook https://t.co/sdK08Xgr7d

I can’t imagine living in that kind of myopic world.

Scary.

Just plain scary.
