Axios has apparently discovered that there's a bunch of fake local news sites run by Democrats. Why is there no law against creating fake websites? I get why we don't have laws against saying something incorrect in the news or even lying in the news. It'd be too hard to police that. But I feel like creating a fake news site is interfering with an election. And that's different than just lying about a news story. Now, I don't think it's illegal. Probably not. But the first amendment doesn't cover fraud. Fraud is still illegal.
