SHOCK: Abigail Spanberger Sets Up Fake News Website to Peddle Campaign Propaganda
The Abigail Spanberger campaign has just been exposed for setting up a Facebook page that appears to be a legitimate independent news outlet, but is instead entirely run by campaign staffers.
According to The Daily Signal:
“Virginians on Facebook may see a post from what looks like a news outlet touting Democrat governor candidate Abigail Spanberger’s campaign stops and message on education.
Unsuspecting Virginians may think a friend posted this news, but it’s actually appearing in their feeds because someone paid for it. It also doesn’t come from a news outlet, but from a Facebook page run by Spanberger’s campaign.”
This was no accident. The Spanberger campaign has thrown an immense amount of resources behind this fake news website to make it look legitimate – potentially as much as $104,600. Again quoting from the Signal:
“According to Meta’s Facebook ads library, ads on the page “Commonwealth Courier” have racked up at least 8 million “impressions,” which means that a promoted post has appeared in front of a user 8 million times, though often the same accounts see the same posts multiple times.
Users see a logo with the map of Virginia and the words “Commonwealth Courier.” This Facebook page describes itself as a ‘media/news company” and introduces itself as “Providing political news to Virginians across the Commonwealth.'”
Yet the page includes a key disclosure: “Spanberger for Governor is responsible for this Page.”
In other words, it claims to be a news outlet, it looks like a news outlet, but it’s just a mouthpiece for Spanberger’s campaign.
Meta’s ads library also reveals who paid for the ads—not an entity called “Commonwealth Courier” but “Spanberger for Governor.”
