OFFTOPIC
@pvnk How do you not know who Pewdiepie is?!?! He's like the biggest/richest Youtuber out there.
(PS. I do not watch his trash.)
Okay, well clearly he's trash so I'm not going to be affiliated with trash.

And all that "fake news" will be trashed by their lack of audience.
See that would be the ideal solution however you seem to be forgetting about the people who won't look for the good sites. This is, unfortunately, a large amount of Americans and these individuals will stick to their shit locations for news thus still helping them. How do we deal with that?
I don't think that can be stopped. Americans lack intelligence so that means those that have some brain cells will benefit from them I guess
In addition to what everyone else is saying, I think it's important to note that these people, this issue, cannot be ignored. There will always be people who will exploit these people and end up fucking over everyone. Can't ignore our issues.
