This beauty queen was the face of a fake news website. She says she had no idea.

The Conservative Daily Post has a simple business model, according to court documents: use blood-boiling stories to channel hyperpartisan outrage into wads of advertising cash.

At the top of the funnel was the popular Facebook profile of pundit Laura Hunter, a Barack Obama-hating, Donald Trump-trumpeting activist blogger with a beauty queen’s face and close to a million followers.

She churned out posts at a dizzying clip, sometimes twice an hour — bogus stories about the FBI’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email server, or Bill Clinton’s involvement in an illicit sex ring. She frequently pointed out just how distrustful the American mainstream media was.

The stories — all of which happened to be articles from the Conservative Daily Post — were mostly untrue, a lawsuit says. But they apparently seemed plausible to their target audience of conservative readers, who widely shared many of the stories Hunter posted.

Snopes and PolitiFact, the rumor-busting websites, have debunked a few of the site’s claims that have attracted a massive number of readers.

One phony story claimed that a university forced students to wear hijabs. PolitiFact said the evidence for another story, about an underground Clinton sex network, was “thin.”
