Headline: “The recent explosion of right-wing news sites”

“Axios mapped the launch date of 89 news websites over the past quarter century. The data shows there has been an explosion of right-leaning news sites, coinciding with the rise of the Tea Party and alt-right movements beginning in 2010. Many of these sites, in turn, were instrumental in spreading pro-Trump news during the 2016 elections”

“Why it matters: According to experts, digital technology has made it easier to exploit the political divisions that have always existed. . . .’The technological, regulatory, and media space has shifted into one in which this is profitable, and profit is the driving force.’ ”
