Surprisingly fake news creators aren't ashamed of what the do. They just see it as writing for entertainment. And it pays well.
There's also a podcast. Hear it from the fake news king himself.

This guy created the fake news story about Hilary Clinton killing children in the cellar of a pizzeria.
Funny story is that this guy doesn't have an agenda other than just to go viral. He says. He'll write anything that does the job. He's written about people on all sides.
