Hawks - 60 Minutes: Mostly ‘Affluent and College Educated’ Liberals Fall for Fake News
You misquoted the piece, whether from intellectual dishonesty or poor reading comprehension skills doesn't matter.
The words 'fall for' nowhere appear. So we're then left with just the credulous lab-rats on this board who repeatedly fell for and posted fake news reports. They are, like yourself, overwhelmingly righties.

Jeff Green: So the first thing that we found out is that it is definitely a phenomenon that affects both sides.

Scott Pelley: Liberals and Conservatives.
Jeff Green: There is no question they’re both affected.
One fake story, Green examined claimed that the Congress was plotting to overthrow President Trump. He was surprised to learn that right-leaning fake news overwhelmingly attracted readers in their 40s and 50s. And he also found fake-news readers on the left were more likely to be affluent and college-educated.
Jeff Green: That shocked me.
Scott Pelley: Why?
Jeff Green: I think I thought the same way that many Americans perhaps think is that fake news was a phenomenon that only tricked the uneducated. Not true. Just not. The data shows it’s just not true.
