These forums are often organized at schools, churches and other safe zones. They aim to provide undocumented residents with guidance on how to navigate potential changes in immigration enforcement, beginning next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Obama administration carried out 2.4 million deportations between fiscal years 2009 and 2014, according to the most recent Department of Homeland Security \u003ca href=\"https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/DHS%202014%20Yearbook.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">figures\u003c/a>. That's 45 percent more removals than those under President George W. Bush during his entire eight years in office. But Donald Trump's campaign rhetoric -- and a pledge to incarcerate or deport up to 3 million immigrants \"with criminal records\" soon after he takes office on Jan. 20 -- have intensified the demand for legal advice on immigration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The demand for information is great because fear goes all the way up to panic for some undocumented immigrants,\" said Mark Silverman, a senior staff attorney with the Immigrant Legal Resource Center in San Francisco. \"So we've got to calm it in a realistic way. The overall message is to stay calm, but be informed and prepared.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'Everybody in this country is protected by the U.S. Constitution.'\u003ccite>Mark Silverman, Immigrant Legal Resource Center\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>During the recent forum at Berkeley's Longfellow Middle School, Silverman addressed an audience of about 250 people packing the auditorium's stands. He talked about different types of visa applications, and urged the crowd to speak with an attorney to find out if they qualify for a green card or citizenship. Then he asked the audience about their kids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"How many of you have U.S. citizen children?\" said Silverman in Spanish. Most attendees raised their hands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silverman told undocumented parents especially to take steps in the event that immigration authorities detain them, including making a list of contacts who could pick up their children from school and care for them temporarily. If Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents visit their home, he said, they can exercise their right to not let anyone in without a warrant, and to remain silent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Everybody in this country is protected by the U.S. Constitution, whether they are a citizen, legal resident or undocumented,\" he said. \"People don’t have to open their doors to ICE, people don't have to speak with ICE.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, Silverman recommends sliding a written note under the door to the agent. For years, the Immigrant Legal Resource Center has been distributing red pocket-size cards outlining these rights in English and Spanish.

That's 45 percent more removals than those under President George W. Bush during his entire eight years in office. But Donald Trump's campaign rhetoric -- and a pledge to incarcerate or deport up to 3 million immigrants \"with criminal records\" soon after he takes office on Jan. 20 -- have intensified the demand for legal advice on immigration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The demand for information is great because fear goes all the way up to panic for some undocumented immigrants,\" said Mark Silverman, a senior staff attorney with the Immigrant Legal Resource Center in San Francisco. \"So we've got to calm it in a realistic way. The overall message is to stay calm, but be informed and prepared.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'Everybody in this country is protected by the U.S. Constitution.'\u003ccite>Mark Silverman, Immigrant Legal Resource Center\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>During the recent forum at Berkeley's Longfellow Middle School, Silverman addressed an audience of about 250 people packing the auditorium's stands. He talked about different types of visa applications, and urged the crowd to speak with an attorney to find out if they qualify for a green card or citizenship. Then he asked the audience about their kids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"How many of you have U.S. citizen children?\" said Silverman in Spanish. Most attendees raised their hands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silverman told undocumented parents especially to take steps in the event that immigration authorities detain them, including making a list of contacts who could pick up their children from school and care for them temporarily. If Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents visit their home, he said, they can exercise their right to not let anyone in without a warrant, and to remain silent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Everybody in this country is protected by the U.S. Constitution, whether they are a citizen, legal resident or undocumented,\" he said. \"People don’t have to open their doors to ICE, people don't have to speak with ICE.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, Silverman recommends sliding a written note under the door to the agent. For years, the Immigrant Legal Resource Center has been distributing red pocket-size cards outlining these rights in English and Spanish.

In 2009, he put together a group of billionaire investors and bought a failed California-based bank, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=92489065\">IndyMac\u003c/a>.

During that time, the FDIC made payments to OneWest totaling more $1 billion.

According to Rex Shaffer, the VP said, \"I'm going to get you a 60-day extension on the sale date, so we can work this thing out.\" That was on Feb. 17, 2011. But the next day, the Schaffers' house was sold without their knowledge. \"We didn't even know it — didn't have the faintest idea,\" Rex Shaffer says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"kQMxll2B49CltNsYfmk6djG6yGpDh297\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They voted for Donald Trump, but Rose Schaffer says they're praying he doesn't choose Mnuchin as his Treasury secretary. \"If he can't run his own little bank,\" she asks, \"how can he handle a large thing for the United States?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Millions of Americans were foreclosed on after the financial crisis; some were duped by real estate agents and bankers, others took imprudent risks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is important to note that Mnuchin and his partners bought a bank from the government that was already in trouble because of bad loans.

"content": "\u003cp>Donald Trump’s election portends a major shift in how one of America’s greatest bulwarks against the impacts of climate change will be protected and used for fossil fuel development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scientists and conservationists are just beginning to grasp what may lay ahead for more than 600 million acres of national forests, monuments, parks, conservation areas and other federal public lands. But, they say Trump’s statements promoting fossil fuels development on public lands make it clear that the days of managing these lands with renewable energy, conservation and climate change in mind may soon be over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal lands make up roughly \u003ca href=\"https://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R42346.pdf\">27 percent\u003c/a> of the land area of the U.S. — equivalent to the landmass of California, Texas and Alaska combined. The forests they preserve store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and federal lands act as a living laboratory for scientists to study the impacts of climate change on ecosystems. Public lands protect biological diversity and vast ecosystems that act as a major defense against the effects of climate change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Public lands also account for about 24 percent of all fossil fuels produced in the U.S. They’re the source of 21 percent of the oil, 14 percent of the natural gas and 40 percent of the coal produced in the country, \u003ca href=\"http://www.eia.gov/analysis/requests/federallands/pdf/eia-federallandsales.pdf\">according to\u003c/a> the U.S. Energy Information Administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though Trump has detailed few specifics about how he’d like to see public lands management change in the coming years, two policy proposals provide clues:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, his energy plan calls for vigorously promoting fossil fuels development. Canceling restrictions on energy production — including oil, natural gas and coal on federal land — is among the first directives Trump says he will make in his initial days in office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Second, the GOP in its \u003ca href=\"//localhost/about/blank\">2016 platform\u003c/a> called on Congress to reduce the amount of land the federal government manages by creating a way to transfer land to individual states. The party believes states know how to manage land within their borders better than the federal government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Enacting those changes won’t be easy because they’ll face both the headwinds of the energy market, which has favored natural gas production over coal in recent years, and the federal government’s bureaucracy, which can easily bog down sweeping policy shifts in red tape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But once Trump is inaugurated, the GOP will control both Congress and the White House for the first time since the Republican Party announced support for the government to shrink its land holdings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal role in managing public land was front-and-center earlier this year during the armed takeover of an Oregon national wildlife refuge by a group calling for states to take control of federal land. The land transfer movement is led by local government officials across the West who are sympathetic to anti-government groups’ demands for public lands to be given to the states. \u003ca href=\"http://www.hcn.org/articles/trump-met-with-a-leader-of-the-land-transfer-movement\">Trump met with\u003c/a> one of the movement’s leaders in October, suggesting that federal ownership of public land is inefficient.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the past eight years, the Obama administration has done little to slow oil and gas development on public lands. As part of its climate strategy, however, the administration has created renewable energy development zones in Southwestern states and placed a moratorium on future coal leasing while it assesses the impact federal coal development has on climate change. Just this week, it announced a \u003ca href=\"https://www.doi.gov/pressreleases/secretary-jewell-announces-offshore-oil-and-gas-leasing-plan-2017-2022\">plan to halt\u003c/a> oil and gas leasing in waters off the coast of Alaska.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_1199987\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 720px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1199987\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2016/11/Bobby_Magill_CC_Mayflower_Gulch.jpg\" alt=\"Mayflower Gulch is a popular hiking and cross-country skiing area within Arapaho National Forest in Colorado.\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2016/11/Bobby_Magill_CC_Mayflower_Gulch.jpg 720w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2016/11/Bobby_Magill_CC_Mayflower_Gulch-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2016/11/Bobby_Magill_CC_Mayflower_Gulch-240x180.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2016/11/Bobby_Magill_CC_Mayflower_Gulch-375x281.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2016/11/Bobby_Magill_CC_Mayflower_Gulch-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mayflower Gulch is a popular hiking and cross-country skiing area within Arapaho National Forest in Colorado. \u003ccite>(Bobby Magill/Climate Central)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Land use plans adopted by local districts of federal agencies have also restricted some fossil fuels leasing and development in some areas, including around national parks in eastern Utah and elsewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://headwaterseconomics.org/staff/ray-rasker/\">Ray Rasker\u003c/a>, executive director of Headwaters Economics, an independent research group focusing on the economic implications of land management decisions in the West, said Trump’s vision for unfettered fossil fuels development on public lands will run up against market forces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is a myth fossil fuel development is subject to roadblocks,” Rasker said. “Energy development is driven by price, technology (e.g. fracking) and geology.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump could lift Obama’s moratorium on future coal leasing, but that won’t bring the coal industry back from its decades-long decline or herald the opening of new coal mines across the West.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The reason coal prices have dropped is due to reduced international demand and the rise of cheaper natural gas in the production of electricity,” Rasker said. “It has nothing to do with regulatory restrictions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rolling back any land use plans that restrict fossil fuels development would take a long time as Trump administration proposals work through the bureaucratic process, said \u003ca href=\"http://lawweb.colorado.edu/profiles/profile.jsp?id=189\">Mark Squillace\u003c/a>, a natural resources law professor at the University of Colorado-Boulder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If Trump wants to develop some of the lands where leasing has been disallowed, he will first need to amend the plans,” Squillace said. “That’s a public process that takes time.

But, they say Trump’s statements promoting fossil fuels development on public lands make it clear that the days of managing these lands with renewable energy, conservation and climate change in mind may soon be over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal lands make up roughly \u003ca href=\"https://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R42346.pdf\">27 percent\u003c/a> of the land area of the U.S. — equivalent to the landmass of California, Texas and Alaska combined. The forests they preserve store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and federal lands act as a living laboratory for scientists to study the impacts of climate change on ecosystems. Public lands protect biological diversity and vast ecosystems that act as a major defense against the effects of climate change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Public lands also account for about 24 percent of all fossil fuels produced in the U.S. They’re the source of 21 percent of the oil, 14 percent of the natural gas and 40 percent of the coal produced in the country, \u003ca href=\"http://www.eia.gov/analysis/requests/federallands/pdf/eia-federallandsales.pdf\">according to\u003c/a> the U.S. Energy Information Administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though Trump has detailed few specifics about how he’d like to see public lands management change in the coming years, two policy proposals provide clues:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Canceling restrictions on energy production — including oil, natural gas and coal on federal land — is among the first directives Trump says he will make in his initial days in office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Second, the GOP in its \u003ca href=\"//localhost/about/blank\">2016 platform\u003c/a> called on Congress to reduce the amount of land the federal government manages by creating a way to transfer land to individual states. The party believes states know how to manage land within their borders better than the federal government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Enacting those changes won’t be easy because they’ll face both the headwinds of the energy market, which has favored natural gas production over coal in recent years, and the federal government’s bureaucracy, which can easily bog down sweeping policy shifts in red tape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But once Trump is inaugurated, the GOP will control both Congress and the White House for the first time since the Republican Party announced support for the government to shrink its land holdings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal role in managing public land was front-and-center earlier this year during the armed takeover of an Oregon national wildlife refuge by a group calling for states to take control of federal land. The land transfer movement is led by local government officials across the West who are sympathetic to anti-government groups’ demands for public lands to be given to the states. \u003ca href=\"http://www.hcn.org/articles/trump-met-with-a-leader-of-the-land-transfer-movement\">Trump met with\u003c/a> one of the movement’s leaders in October, suggesting that federal ownership of public land is inefficient.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the past eight years, the Obama administration has done little to slow oil and gas development on public lands. As part of its climate strategy, however, the administration has created renewable energy development zones in Southwestern states and placed a moratorium on future coal leasing while it assesses the impact federal coal development has on climate change. Just this week, it announced a \u003ca href=\"https://www.doi.gov/pressreleases/secretary-jewell-announces-offshore-oil-and-gas-leasing-plan-2017-2022\">plan to halt\u003c/a> oil and gas leasing in waters off the coast of Alaska.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_1199987\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 720px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1199987\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2016/11/Bobby_Magill_CC_Mayflower_Gulch.jpg\" alt=\"Mayflower Gulch is a popular hiking and cross-country skiing area within Arapaho National Forest in Colorado.\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2016/11/Bobby_Magill_CC_Mayflower_Gulch.jpg 720w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2016/11/Bobby_Magill_CC_Mayflower_Gulch-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2016/11/Bobby_Magill_CC_Mayflower_Gulch-240x180.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2016/11/Bobby_Magill_CC_Mayflower_Gulch-375x281.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2016/11/Bobby_Magill_CC_Mayflower_Gulch-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mayflower Gulch is a popular hiking and cross-country skiing area within Arapaho National Forest in Colorado. \u003ccite>(Bobby Magill/Climate Central)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Land use plans adopted by local districts of federal agencies have also restricted some fossil fuels leasing and development in some areas, including around national parks in eastern Utah and elsewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://headwaterseconomics.org/staff/ray-rasker/\">Ray Rasker\u003c/a>, executive director of Headwaters Economics, an independent research group focusing on the economic implications of land management decisions in the West, said Trump’s vision for unfettered fossil fuels development on public lands will run up against market forces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is a myth fossil fuel development is subject to roadblocks,” Rasker said. “Energy development is driven by price, technology (e.g. fracking) and geology.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump could lift Obama’s moratorium on future coal leasing, but that won’t bring the coal industry back from its decades-long decline or herald the opening of new coal mines across the West.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The reason coal prices have dropped is due to reduced international demand and the rise of cheaper natural gas in the production of electricity,” Rasker said. “It has nothing to do with regulatory restrictions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rolling back any land use plans that restrict fossil fuels development would take a long time as Trump administration proposals work through the bureaucratic process, said \u003ca href=\"http://lawweb.colorado.edu/profiles/profile.jsp?id=189\">Mark Squillace\u003c/a>, a natural resources law professor at the University of Colorado-Boulder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If Trump wants to develop some of the lands where leasing has been disallowed, he will first need to amend the plans,” Squillace said. “That’s a public process that takes time.

Vaughan works for the Center for Immigration Studies, a think tank that supports more restrictive\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> immigration policies. She’s among those who support Trump’s call for punishing jurisdictions that embrace these policies. We asked her: How many exist?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\"There are just over 300 of these jurisdictions, and they range from cities and towns to counties. And even a couple of states have sanctuary policies,\" Vaughan said. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The History of Sanctuary in California\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s right -- entire states. And California is one of them, because of a 2013 law known as the Trust Act. It limits when California jails are allowed to cooperate with ICE, and lets them go farther than the state limits if they want. The Trust Act \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">was enacted after the federal government started requiring local jails to share the fingerprints of anyone they book into custody -- and keep them behind bars if Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, deemed them eligible for deportation.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"nvCF21RKfWRRfG0FjJlgGjsh4zcqmGf4\"]\"The Trust Act not only allows local jurisdictions within California to have egregious sanctuary policies, but it also restricts the cooperation of even those sheriffs, for example, who would like to be able to work with ICE,\" said Vaughan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanctuary policies actually began back in the 1980s, when leaders in some cities, including Los Angeles and San Francisco, were moved to protect Central Americans fleeing civil wars after the Reagan administration refused to give them asylum. But most were adopted in recent years after ICE started asking local jails to hold undocumented people, even if they were otherwise eligible for release.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters say the policies make for safer communities, because immigrants are more likely to trust and cooperate with local governments if they’re not afraid of being deported. But critics say they are just protecting criminals, like the man accused of \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/07/06/kate-steinle-shooting-opens-can-of-worms-on-san-francisco-immigration-policy/\">shooting Kate Steinle on a San Francisco pier last year.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Money, Money, Money\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Vaughan believes cities, counties and states that don’t cooperate with those detainer requests are flouting federal law and could be punished under a Trump administration. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\"There are a number of tools the federal government has to use to address the sanctuary jurisdiction problem. The first, and most obvious one, is block these jurisdictions from getting certain types of federal funds,\" she said. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She doesn’t think that San Francisco, for example, would immediately lose all $1 billion it receives each year in federal funding. But the Trump administration could try to cut law enforcement grants by executive action, she said -- something the Obama administration has already done. Vaughan said that under Obama, the Department of Justice has blocked 10 jurisdictions, including the state of California, from applying for certain grants because they have policies that are inconsistent with federal law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The array of grant programs that could become off-limits could be expanded, and if that happens I believe a lot of these jurisdictions are going to revisit their policies and begin to cooperate,\" Vaughan said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So perhaps San Francisco \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">could\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> be at risk of losing up to $35 million that it gets annually in law enforcement assistance from the feds.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Taking It to the Courts\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And what if sanctuary jurisdictions\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/11/14/defiant-san-francisco-vows-to-remain-sanctuary-city/\"> dig in and refuse to change their policies\u003c/a>, as leaders \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-sanctuary-cities-20161114-story.html\">up and down the state of California have vowed to do\u003c/a>?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\"In that situation, the federal government needs to look at litigation against those jurisdictions and possibly even prosecution,\" said Vaughan.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chan, the immigration rights lawyer, agrees that the fight will likely end up in court. But she thinks jurisdictions who refuse to cooperate with immigration holds are actually on strong legal footing.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">The federal government needs to look at litigation against those jurisdictions and possibly even prosecution.\u003ccite>Jessica Vaughan, Center for Immigration Studies\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\"The new Trump administration can make a lot of threats and boasts, as they do, but there are limits to what they can force localities to do,\" she said. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chan says federal courts have already ruled that forcing local jails to hold someone, based on an ICE hold, violates Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable seizures. In fact, she said, some counties have adopted sanctuary policies to protect their sheriff's departments from being sued for illegally detaining people. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Federal courts have said you can't have an unreasonable seizure, and an unreasonable seizure of a body is when it's not based on probable cause or a warrant signed by a judge,\" Chan said. \"On top of that, there was a recent court decision from Illinois saying ... that ICE is going outside of the bounds of what federal statute allows because they are issuing these (hold requests) willy-nilly, they are not issuing them based on someone's flight risk. These are just ICE agents signing detainers. They are not based on any judiciary review or any gathering of probable cause evidence.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chan said there are also two Supreme Court decisions that could limit a Trump administration’s ability to withhold federal funding. Both were suits brought by conservative plaintiffs seeking to limit local cooperation with federal laws -- one dealing with gun control and one dealing with the Affordable Care Act. And in both cases, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of states' rights.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think states' rights cut both ways -- progressively in terms of defending immigrants, and it cuts conservatively in pushing back against gun control or expanded health care,\" said Chan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Vaughan argues the Trump administration would ultimately prevail if these issues were litigated. But she and Chan agree on the timeline: California shouldn’t expect federal assistance to suddenly disappear come Jan. 20. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\n",

And even a couple of states have sanctuary policies,\" Vaughan said. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The History of Sanctuary in California\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s right -- entire states. And California is one of them, because of a 2013 law known as the Trust Act. It limits when California jails are allowed to cooperate with ICE, and lets them go farther than the state limits if they want. The Trust Act \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">was enacted after the federal government started requiring local jails to share the fingerprints of anyone they book into custody -- and keep them behind bars if Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, deemed them eligible for deportation.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\"The Trust Act not only allows local jurisdictions within California to have egregious sanctuary policies, but it also restricts the cooperation of even those sheriffs, for example, who would like to be able to work with ICE,\" said Vaughan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanctuary policies actually began back in the 1980s, when leaders in some cities, including Los Angeles and San Francisco, were moved to protect Central Americans fleeing civil wars after the Reagan administration refused to give them asylum. But most were adopted in recent years after ICE started asking local jails to hold undocumented people, even if they were otherwise eligible for release.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters say the policies make for safer communities, because immigrants are more likely to trust and cooperate with local governments if they’re not afraid of being deported. But critics say they are just protecting criminals, like the man accused of \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/07/06/kate-steinle-shooting-opens-can-of-worms-on-san-francisco-immigration-policy/\">shooting Kate Steinle on a San Francisco pier last year.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Money, Money, Money\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Vaughan believes cities, counties and states that don’t cooperate with those detainer requests are flouting federal law and could be punished under a Trump administration. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\"There are a number of tools the federal government has to use to address the sanctuary jurisdiction problem. The first, and most obvious one, is block these jurisdictions from getting certain types of federal funds,\" she said. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She doesn’t think that San Francisco, for example, would immediately lose all $1 billion it receives each year in federal funding. But the Trump administration could try to cut law enforcement grants by executive action, she said -- something the Obama administration has already done. Vaughan said that under Obama, the Department of Justice has blocked 10 jurisdictions, including the state of California, from applying for certain grants because they have policies that are inconsistent with federal law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The array of grant programs that could become off-limits could be expanded, and if that happens I believe a lot of these jurisdictions are going to revisit their policies and begin to cooperate,\" Vaughan said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So perhaps San Francisco \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">could\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> be at risk of losing up to $35 million that it gets annually in law enforcement assistance from the feds.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Taking It to the Courts\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And what if sanctuary jurisdictions\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/11/14/defiant-san-francisco-vows-to-remain-sanctuary-city/\"> dig in and refuse to change their policies\u003c/a>, as leaders \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-sanctuary-cities-20161114-story.html\">up and down the state of California have vowed to do\u003c/a>?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\"In that situation, the federal government needs to look at litigation against those jurisdictions and possibly even prosecution,\" said Vaughan.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chan, the immigration rights lawyer, agrees that the fight will likely end up in court. But she thinks jurisdictions who refuse to cooperate with immigration holds are actually on strong legal footing.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">The federal government needs to look at litigation against those jurisdictions and possibly even prosecution.\u003ccite>Jessica Vaughan, Center for Immigration Studies\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\"The new Trump administration can make a lot of threats and boasts, as they do, but there are limits to what they can force localities to do,\" she said. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chan says federal courts have already ruled that forcing local jails to hold someone, based on an ICE hold, violates Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable seizures. In fact, she said, some counties have adopted sanctuary policies to protect their sheriff's departments from being sued for illegally detaining people. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Federal courts have said you can't have an unreasonable seizure, and an unreasonable seizure of a body is when it's not based on probable cause or a warrant signed by a judge,\" Chan said. \"On top of that, there was a recent court decision from Illinois saying ... that ICE is going outside of the bounds of what federal statute allows because they are issuing these (hold requests) willy-nilly, they are not issuing them based on someone's flight risk. These are just ICE agents signing detainers. They are not based on any judiciary review or any gathering of probable cause evidence.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chan said there are also two Supreme Court decisions that could limit a Trump administration’s ability to withhold federal funding. Both were suits brought by conservative plaintiffs seeking to limit local cooperation with federal laws -- one dealing with gun control and one dealing with the Affordable Care Act. And in both cases, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of states' rights.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think states' rights cut both ways -- progressively in terms of defending immigrants, and it cuts conservatively in pushing back against gun control or expanded health care,\" said Chan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Alex Halderman, director of the University of Michigan Center for Computer Security and Society, and help establish the importance of inspecting ballots in future elections to deter cyberattacks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clinton now enjoys \u003ca href=\"http://cookpolitical.com/story/10174\" target=\"_blank\">a popular-vote plurality\u003c/a> of more than 2 million nationwide. Her campaign did not respond to an Associated Press request for comment as to whether it would petition for a recount before the three states' fast-approaching deadlines to ask for one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group that approached Clinton's aides, led by Halderman and voting-rights attorney John Bonifaz, contacted the campaign this week. That call, which was first \u003ca href=\"http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/11/activists-urge-hillary-clinton-to-challenge-election-results.html\" target=\"_blank\">reported by New York Magazine\u003c/a>, raised the possibility that Clinton may have received fewer votes than expected in some counties that rely on electronic voting machines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Halderman stressed in his Medium post that the group has no evidence of a cyberattack or voting irregularities. He urged that a recount be ordered just to eliminate the possibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The only way to know whether a cyberattack changed the result is to closely examine the available physical evidence -- paper ballots and voting equipment in critical states like Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania,\" Halderman wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wednesday afternoon, Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein announced \u003ca href=\"https://jillstein.nationbuilder.com/recount\" target=\"_blank\">an effort to raise $2.5 million\u003c/a> by Friday afternoon to pay for recounts in the three states. The campaign appeared to have raised nearly $800,000 in its first several hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to \u003ca href=\"https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/133Eb4qQmOxNvtesw2hdVns073R68EZx4SfCnP4IGQf8/htmlview?sle=true\" target=\"_blank\">results\u003c/a> from the three states, President-elect Donald Trump won Pennsylvania by about 70,000 votes of more than 6 million ballots cast, for a 1.2 percent edge over Clinton. He is shown winning Wisconsin by 22,000 votes of nearly 3 million votes cast, or .8 percent; and Michigan by just over 10,000 votes out of 4.8 million, or .2 percent. All three states had voted Democratic in recent presidential elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An AP request to the Trump transition team for comment was not immediately returned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump's campaign had long believed that his message of economic populism would resonate in the Rust Belt. He frequently campaigned in Pennsylvania and made a late push in both Wisconsin and Michigan, successfully turning out white working-class voters whom pollsters may have missed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many pre-election polls showed Clinton with slight leads. While advocating for the recounts, Halderman writes that \"the most likely explanation\" for Trump's surprise win \"is that the polls were systematically wrong,\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deadlines for petitioning for a recount in all three states are in the coming days, with Wisconsin's on Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The focal point of any possible electoral cyberattack presumably would have been electronic voting machines that, whether or not they are connected to the internet, could be infected with malware that could change vote totals. But many of those machines produce a paper record of the vote that could be checked to see if the vote tabulations are accurate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pennsylvania is considered one of the states most susceptible to hacking because 96 percent of its voting machines have no paper trail. Wisconsin is far less vulnerable because it uses electronic machines with voter-verifiable paper trails in most counties. Michigan is considered the safest of the three because it uses paper ballots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many election experts have called for routine post-election audits designed to boost public confidence in vote outcomes, by guarding against both tampering and natural vote-counting mistakes. These could involve spot checks of the voting records and ballots, typically in randomly selected precincts, to make sure that votes were accurately recorded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In many states, audits involve hand-counting the votes on paper ballots and comparing the results to the totals stored in the state's electronic voting system. Such audits do sometimes turn up mistakes that reverse an election. That happened in Florida's Palm Beach County in 2012, when a post-election audit determined that the \"winners\" in two city council races were actually losers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Routine audits also make it possible to confirm the accuracy of elections without putting the onus on losing candidates to call for a recount. In states without regular audits, a candidate who questions the results gets \"painted as a sore loser,\" Pamela Smith, president of the nonprofit Verified Voting, said in an interview earlier this year. \"If you do a regular audit, you often don't need a recount. It either shows the count was right or you find something.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Any attempted hack to swing the results in three states would have been a massive and unprecedented undertaking. But electoral security was an issue that loomed large in many Americans minds this year as the Democratic National Committee and several Clinton staffers had their emails breached and later released. U.S. security officials believe that hack of email was orchestrated by Russian hackers.\u003c/p>\n\n",

That call, which was first \u003ca href=\"http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/11/activists-urge-hillary-clinton-to-challenge-election-results.html\" target=\"_blank\">reported by New York Magazine\u003c/a>, raised the possibility that Clinton may have received fewer votes than expected in some counties that rely on electronic voting machines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Halderman stressed in his Medium post that the group has no evidence of a cyberattack or voting irregularities. He urged that a recount be ordered just to eliminate the possibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The only way to know whether a cyberattack changed the result is to closely examine the available physical evidence -- paper ballots and voting equipment in critical states like Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania,\" Halderman wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wednesday afternoon, Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein announced \u003ca href=\"https://jillstein.nationbuilder.com/recount\" target=\"_blank\">an effort to raise $2.5 million\u003c/a> by Friday afternoon to pay for recounts in the three states. The campaign appeared to have raised nearly $800,000 in its first several hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to \u003ca href=\"https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/133Eb4qQmOxNvtesw2hdVns073R68EZx4SfCnP4IGQf8/htmlview?sle=true\" target=\"_blank\">results\u003c/a> from the three states, President-elect Donald Trump won Pennsylvania by about 70,000 votes of more than 6 million ballots cast, for a 1.2 percent edge over Clinton. He is shown winning Wisconsin by 22,000 votes of nearly 3 million votes cast, or .8 percent; and Michigan by just over 10,000 votes out of 4.8 million, or .2 percent. All three states had voted Democratic in recent presidential elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An AP request to the Trump transition team for comment was not immediately returned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump's campaign had long believed that his message of economic populism would resonate in the Rust Belt. He frequently campaigned in Pennsylvania and made a late push in both Wisconsin and Michigan, successfully turning out white working-class voters whom pollsters may have missed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many pre-election polls showed Clinton with slight leads. While advocating for the recounts, Halderman writes that \"the most likely explanation\" for Trump's surprise win \"is that the polls were systematically wrong,\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deadlines for petitioning for a recount in all three states are in the coming days, with Wisconsin's on Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The focal point of any possible electoral cyberattack presumably would have been electronic voting machines that, whether or not they are connected to the internet, could be infected with malware that could change vote totals. But many of those machines produce a paper record of the vote that could be checked to see if the vote tabulations are accurate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pennsylvania is considered one of the states most susceptible to hacking because 96 percent of its voting machines have no paper trail. Wisconsin is far less vulnerable because it uses electronic machines with voter-verifiable paper trails in most counties. Michigan is considered the safest of the three because it uses paper ballots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many election experts have called for routine post-election audits designed to boost public confidence in vote outcomes, by guarding against both tampering and natural vote-counting mistakes. These could involve spot checks of the voting records and ballots, typically in randomly selected precincts, to make sure that votes were accurately recorded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In many states, audits involve hand-counting the votes on paper ballots and comparing the results to the totals stored in the state's electronic voting system. Such audits do sometimes turn up mistakes that reverse an election. That happened in Florida's Palm Beach County in 2012, when a post-election audit determined that the \"winners\" in two city council races were actually losers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Routine audits also make it possible to confirm the accuracy of elections without putting the onus on losing candidates to call for a recount. In states without regular audits, a candidate who questions the results gets \"painted as a sore loser,\" Pamela Smith, president of the nonprofit Verified Voting, said in an interview earlier this year. \"If you do a regular audit, you often don't need a recount. It either shows the count was right or you find something.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Any attempted hack to swing the results in three states would have been a massive and unprecedented undertaking. But electoral security was an issue that loomed large in many Americans minds this year as the Democratic National Committee and several Clinton staffers had their emails breached and later released. U.S. security officials believe that hack of email was orchestrated by Russian hackers.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>A lot of fake and misleading news stories were shared across social media during the election. One that got a lot of traffic had the headline: \"FBI Agent Suspected In Hillary Email Leaks Found Dead In Apparent Murder-Suicide.\" The story is \u003ca href=\"http://www.snopes.com/fbi-agent-murder-suicide/\" target=\"_blank\">completely false\u003c/a>, but it was shared on Facebook over half a million times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We wondered who was behind that story and why it was written. It appeared on a site that had the look and feel of a local newspaper. Denverguardian.com even had the local weather. But it only had one news story -- the fake one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We tried to look up who owned it and hit a wall. The site was registered anonymously. So, we brought in some professional help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By day, John Jansen is head of engineering at Master-McNeil Inc., a tech company in Berkeley. In the interest of real news he helped us track down the owner of Denverguardian.com.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jansen started by looking at the site's history. \"Commonly that's called scraping or crawling websites,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jansen is kind of like an archaeologist. He says that nothing you do on the Web disappears -- it just gets buried -- like a fossil. But if you do some digging, you'll find those fossils and learn a lot of history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Denver Guardian was built and designed using a pretty common platform -- WordPress. It's used by bloggers and people who want to create their own websites. Jansen found the first entry ever for the site was done by someone with the handle LetTexasSecede.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That was sort of the thread that started to unravel everything,\" Jansen says. \"I was able to track that through to a bunch of other sites, which are where that handle is also present.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sites include \u003ca href=\"http://nationalreport.net/\" target=\"_blank\">NationalReport.net\u003c/a>, USAToday.com.co, WashingtonPost.com.co. All the addresses linked to a single rented server inside Amazon Web Services. That meant they were all likely owned by the same company. Jansen found an email address on one of those sites and he was able to link that address to a name: Jestin Coler.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Online, Coler was listed as the founder and CEO of a company called Disinfomedia. Coler's LinkedIn profile said he once sold magazine subscriptions, worked as a database administrator, and as a freelance writer for, among others, \u003cem>International Yachtsman \u003c/em>magazine. And, using his name, we found a home address.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a warm, sunny afternoon I set out with a producer for a suburb of Los Angeles. Coler lived in a middle-class neighborhood of pastel-colored one-story beach bungalows. His home had an unwatered lawn -- probably the result of California's ongoing drought. There was a black minivan in the driveway and a large prominent American flag.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We rang the front doorbell and a man answered, his face obscured by a heavy mesh steel screen. I asked for Jestin Coler. The man indicated that's who he was. But when I asked about Disinfomedia, he said, \"I don't know what to tell you guys. Have a good day.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We left Coler our contact information, thinking he wasn't likely to talk. But a couple of hours later he had a change of heart. He sent us an email and we set up an interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coler is a soft-spoken 40-year-old with a wife and two kids. He says he got into fake news around 2013 to highlight the extremism of the white nationalist alt-right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The whole idea from the start was to build a site that could kind of infiltrate the echo chambers of the alt-right, publish blatantly fictional stories and then be able to publicly denounce those stories and point out the fact that they were fiction,\" Coler says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He was amazed at how quickly fake news could spread and how easily people believe it. He wrote one fake story for NationalReport.net about how customers in Colorado marijuana shops were \u003ca href=\"http://nationalreport.net/colorado-pot-shop-accept-food-stamps-taxpayer-funded-marijuana/\" target=\"_blank\">using food stamps to buy pot\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What that turned into was a state representative in the House in Colorado \u003ca href=\"http://www.denverpost.com/2014/01/14/fake-report-about-colorado-pot-shops-food-stamps-creates-havoc/\" target=\"_blank\">proposing actual legislation\u003c/a> to prevent people from using their food stamps to buy marijuana, based on something that had just never happened,\" Coler says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the runup to the presidential election, fake news really took off. \"It was just anybody with a blog can get on there and find a big, huge Facebook group of kind of rabid Trump supporters just waiting to eat up this red meat that they're about to get served,\" Coler says. \"It caused an explosion in the number of sites. I mean, my gosh, the number of just fake accounts on Facebook exploded during the Trump election.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coler says his writers have tried to write fake news for liberals -- but they just never take the bait.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coler's company, Disinfomedia, owns many faux news sites -- he won't say how many. But he says his is one of the biggest fake news businesses out there, which makes him kind of like a godfather of the industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At any given time Coler says he's got between 20 and 25 writers. And it was one of them that wrote the story in the Denver Guardian that an FBI agent who leaked Clinton emails was killed. Coler says that over 10 days the site got 1.6 million views. He says stories like this work because they fit into existing right-wing conspiracy theories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The people wanted to hear this,\" he says. \"So all it took was to write that story. Everything about it was fictional: the town, the people, the sheriff, the FBI guy. And then ... our social media guys kind of go out and do a little dropping it throughout Trump groups and Trump forums, and boy it spread like wildfire.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And as the stories spread, Coler makes money from the ads on his websites. He wouldn't give exact figures, but he says stories about other fake news proprietors making between $10,000 and $30,000 a month apply to him. Coler fits into a pattern of other faux news sites that make good money, especially by targeting Trump supporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Coler insists this is not about money. It's about showing how easily fake news spreads. And fake news spread wide and far before the election. When I pointed out to Coler that the money gave him a lot of incentive to keep doing it regardless of the impact, he admitted that was \"correct.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coler says he has tried to shine a light on the problem of fake news. He has spoken to the media about it. But those organizations didn't know who he actually was. He gave them a fake name: Allen Montgomery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coler, a registered Democrat, says he has no regrets about his fake news empire. He doesn't think fake news swayed the election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are many factors as to why Trump won that don't involve fake news,\" he says. \"As much as I like Hillary, she was a poor candidate. She brought in a lot of baggage.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coler doesn't think fake news is going away. One of his sites -- NationalReport.net -- was flagged as fake news under a new Google policy, and Google stopped running ads on it. But Coler had other options.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are literally hundreds of ad networks,\" he says. \"Early last week, my inbox was just filled every day with people because they knew that Google was cracking down -- hundreds of people wanting to work with my sites.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coler says he's been talking it over with his wife and he may be getting out of the fake news racket. But, he says, dozens, maybe hundreds of entrepreneurs will be ready to take his place. And he thinks it will only get harder to tell their websites from real news sites. They know now that fake news sells and they will only be in it for the money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Below are highlights of NPR's interview with Jestin Coler.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003ch3>Interview Highlights\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tell me a little about why you started Disinfomedia?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Late 2012, early 2013 I was spending a lot of time researching what is now being referred to as the alt-right. I identified a problem with the news that they were spreading and created Disinfomedia as a response to that. The whole idea from the start was to build a site that could infiltrate the echo chambers of the alt-right, publish blatantly false or fictional stories, and then be able to publicly denounce those stories and point out the fact that they were fiction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What got you engaged in this?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My educational background is in political science. I've always enjoyed the ideas of propaganda and misinformation. Then I coupled that with an interest in what makes things go viral. So that led me to finding those groups and ultimately to finding contributors. But it was just something I had an interest in that I wanted to pursue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>When did you notice that fake news does best with Trump supporters?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well this isn't just a Trump supporter problem. This is a right-wing issue. Sarah Palin's famous blasting of the lame-stream media is kind of record and testament to the rise of these kinds of people. The post-fact era is what I would refer to it as. This isn't something that started with Trump. This is something that's been in the works for a while. His whole campaign was this thing of discrediting mainstream media sources, which is one of those dog whistles to his supporters. When we were coming up with headlines it's always kind of about the red meat. Trump really got into the red meat. He knew who his base was. He knew how to feed them a constant diet of this red meat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We've tried to do similar things to liberals. It just has never worked, it never takes off. You'll get debunked within the first two comments and then the whole thing just kind of fizzles out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How many domains do you own and run?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, I would say there's somewhere around 25 domains that I am currently managing. National Report has been my bread and butter, where I've spent most of my time. I have people who work with me and for me in developing and maintaining the other sites and social media kind of stuff. (Coler later said not all his sites are fake news.) So I, for the most part, focus on National Report, and a lot of the other stuff is run by other folks on the team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So, you're the publisher of an empire. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, I wouldn't go so far as to call it an empire but, yes, it's several sites (chuckle).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How many people do you have writing for you?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It comes and goes, and as for actual employed writers, again these guys sort of make their own money through ad code. So I don't say, 'Hey, you have to write 10 stories this week' and this and that. Really, we have a more free-form idea where people, when their creativity strikes them, then they can write something. And if they're in a slump then they just go dormant for a while. With that said, at any given time there's probably 20, 25 contributors all over the country. ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Talk about the Denver Guardian.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, it's kind of as a side project. We have some people working on next steps in the fake news industry, and that came from that whole discussion. We had purchased several domain names that sounded legitimate. ... More local news sort of stories. The idea was to make the sites look as legit as possible so the home page is going to be local news and local forecast, local sports, some obituaries and things of that nature, and then the actual fake news stories were going to be buried off the homepage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We've tried lots of things in the past. The dot-com dot co domains were something I toyed in for a while. Those I quickly got away from because you don't get away long with borrowing someone's copyright or trademark. That was something that worked very well from a fake news perspective. People were fooled into the domain name, but that wasn't so much what we were after. So again, the next step was to go after more city-type sites. And the Denver Guardian was one of those sites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You're talking about the future of this (fake news business), which looks more insidious because it's more real? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's the way that it's going to be. Not just from where I am. I mean this is probably going to be my last run in the fake news biz, but I can promise you that it's not going to go away. It's even going to grow bigger and it's going to be harder to identify as it kind of evolves through these steps. ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do you know who wrote the actual FBI Clinton story?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I do know who wrote the story, but only through an anonymous pen name. Privacy is something that we take very seriously in our writers' group. The actual reasonings behind that story ... it's one of hundreds that have been written about mysterious deaths of Clinton associates or political foes. This one kind of took off more than others, I believe, just because of the nature of the story. The people wanted to hear this. So all it took was to write that story. Everything about it was fictional. The town, the people, the sheriff, the FBI guy. Then, we had our social media guys kind of go out and do a little dropping it throughout Trump groups and Trump forums, and boy it spread like wildfire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why hide your identity? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This isn't the safest business to be in, to be honest. Just the number of death threats I've received. I have a beautiful family, a beautiful life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of these people that we ... bait is probably the right word -- are often -- let's call them the deplorables, right? They're not the safest crowd. Some of them I would consider domestic terrorists. So they're just not people that I want to be knocking on my door.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>It seems like National Report is getting spoofier. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you went to National Report today, it's specifically satire. \"Chris Christie nominated to Supreme Food Court.\" \"Sarah Palin Banning Muslims from Entering Bristol Palin.\" They're a little bit more offensive than some people care for their satire. I mean fat shaming and slut shaming isn't something that is normally met with applause. But again, it's a lot more fun in nature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do you make serious money?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It depends on what you would call serious money. I think I do pretty well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Can you say how well?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I would rather not. There have been some people who have been reported on recently. The folks in Long Beach that were doing just all-right stuff. They were reporting $10,000 to $30,000 a month. I think that's probably a relative ballpark.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So you're doing as well as those?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You're making money through the ads?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Who do you work with?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We have several advertisers. Google was one, although they shut down my account last week. We've replaced them with other advertisers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Can I ask who?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are literally hundreds of ad networks. Literally hundreds. Last week my inbox was just filled every day with people, because they knew that Google was cracking down — hundreds of people wanting to work with my sites. I kind of applaud Google for their steps, although I think what they're doing is kind of random. They don't really have a process in place for identifying these things. I happen to know a very successful site that, as of today, of this morning is still serving Google ads. So it seems to be a kind of arbitrary step that they're taking either based on, I don't know if it was my reputation within the industry or specifically the Denver Guardian site that angered them, or I don't know what it is, but back to your question, there's hundreds of people that will work with me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What can be done about fake news? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of this has to fall on the readers themselves. The consumers of content have to be better at identifying this stuff. We have a whole nation of media-illiterate people. Really, there needs to be something done.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do you consider yourself an entrepreneur?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Are you one of the biggest in the fake news biz?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you look at someone who has specifically sometimes peddled in fictional news, then I think that I would probably be considered one of the larger sites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>As a liberal, do you have any regrets?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I don't. Again, this is something that I've been crying about for a while. But outside of that, there are many factors as to why Trump won that don't involve fake news, right? As much as I like Hillary, she was a poor candidate. She brought in a lot of baggage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You don't feel responsible.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I do not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do you think you would have kept doing it if it wasn't so lucrative?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Really the financial part of it isn't the only motivator for me. I do enjoy making a mess of the people that share the content that comes out of our site. It's not just the financial incentive for me. I still enjoy the game, I guess.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Would you do this all over again?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, I guess it came to a head here and we're talking about it. It'll be interesting to see what happens moving forward. If I had to, if I knew specifically the Denver Guardian situation, that would have been handled differently. But everything else, as far as the work I've done with National Report, I'm very proud of, and I'm going to continue doing it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2016 NPR.

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>A lot of fake and misleading news stories were shared across social media during the election. One that got a lot of traffic had the headline: \"FBI Agent Suspected In Hillary Email Leaks Found Dead In Apparent Murder-Suicide.\" The story is \u003ca href=\"http://www.snopes.com/fbi-agent-murder-suicide/\" target=\"_blank\">completely false\u003c/a>, but it was shared on Facebook over half a million times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We wondered who was behind that story and why it was written. It appeared on a site that had the look and feel of a local newspaper. Denverguardian.com even had the local weather. But it only had one news story -- the fake one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We tried to look up who owned it and hit a wall. The site was registered anonymously. So, we brought in some professional help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By day, John Jansen is head of engineering at Master-McNeil Inc., a tech company in Berkeley. In the interest of real news he helped us track down the owner of Denverguardian.com.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jansen started by looking at the site's history. \"Commonly that's called scraping or crawling websites,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jansen is kind of like an archaeologist. He says that nothing you do on the Web disappears -- it just gets buried -- like a fossil. But if you do some digging, you'll find those fossils and learn a lot of history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Denver Guardian was built and designed using a pretty common platform -- WordPress. It's used by bloggers and people who want to create their own websites. Jansen found the first entry ever for the site was done by someone with the handle LetTexasSecede.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That was sort of the thread that started to unravel everything,\" Jansen says. \"I was able to track that through to a bunch of other sites, which are where that handle is also present.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sites include \u003ca href=\"http://nationalreport.net/\" target=\"_blank\">NationalReport.net\u003c/a>, USAToday.com.co, WashingtonPost.com.co. All the addresses linked to a single rented server inside Amazon Web Services. That meant they were all likely owned by the same company. Jansen found an email address on one of those sites and he was able to link that address to a name: Jestin Coler.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Online, Coler was listed as the founder and CEO of a company called Disinfomedia. Coler's LinkedIn profile said he once sold magazine subscriptions, worked as a database administrator, and as a freelance writer for, among others, \u003cem>International Yachtsman \u003c/em>magazine. And, using his name, we found a home address.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a warm, sunny afternoon I set out with a producer for a suburb of Los Angeles. Coler lived in a middle-class neighborhood of pastel-colored one-story beach bungalows. His home had an unwatered lawn -- probably the result of California's ongoing drought. There was a black minivan in the driveway and a large prominent American flag.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We rang the front doorbell and a man answered, his face obscured by a heavy mesh steel screen. I asked for Jestin Coler. The man indicated that's who he was. But when I asked about Disinfomedia, he said, \"I don't know what to tell you guys. Have a good day.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We left Coler our contact information, thinking he wasn't likely to talk. But a couple of hours later he had a change of heart. He sent us an email and we set up an interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coler is a soft-spoken 40-year-old with a wife and two kids. He says he got into fake news around 2013 to highlight the extremism of the white nationalist alt-right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The whole idea from the start was to build a site that could kind of infiltrate the echo chambers of the alt-right, publish blatantly fictional stories and then be able to publicly denounce those stories and point out the fact that they were fiction,\" Coler says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He was amazed at how quickly fake news could spread and how easily people believe it. He wrote one fake story for NationalReport.net about how customers in Colorado marijuana shops were \u003ca href=\"http://nationalreport.net/colorado-pot-shop-accept-food-stamps-taxpayer-funded-marijuana/\" target=\"_blank\">using food stamps to buy pot\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What that turned into was a state representative in the House in Colorado \u003ca href=\"http://www.denverpost.com/2014/01/14/fake-report-about-colorado-pot-shops-food-stamps-creates-havoc/\" target=\"_blank\">proposing actual legislation\u003c/a> to prevent people from using their food stamps to buy marijuana, based on something that had just never happened,\" Coler says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the runup to the presidential election, fake news really took off. \"It was just anybody with a blog can get on there and find a big, huge Facebook group of kind of rabid Trump supporters just waiting to eat up this red meat that they're about to get served,\" Coler says. \"It caused an explosion in the number of sites. I mean, my gosh, the number of just fake accounts on Facebook exploded during the Trump election.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coler says his writers have tried to write fake news for liberals -- but they just never take the bait.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coler's company, Disinfomedia, owns many faux news sites -- he won't say how many. But he says his is one of the biggest fake news businesses out there, which makes him kind of like a godfather of the industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At any given time Coler says he's got between 20 and 25 writers. And it was one of them that wrote the story in the Denver Guardian that an FBI agent who leaked Clinton emails was killed. Coler says that over 10 days the site got 1.6 million views. He says stories like this work because they fit into existing right-wing conspiracy theories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The people wanted to hear this,\" he says. \"So all it took was to write that story. Everything about it was fictional: the town, the people, the sheriff, the FBI guy. And then ... our social media guys kind of go out and do a little dropping it throughout Trump groups and Trump forums, and boy it spread like wildfire.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And as the stories spread, Coler makes money from the ads on his websites. He wouldn't give exact figures, but he says stories about other fake news proprietors making between $10,000 and $30,000 a month apply to him. Coler fits into a pattern of other faux news sites that make good money, especially by targeting Trump supporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Coler insists this is not about money. It's about showing how easily fake news spreads. And fake news spread wide and far before the election. When I pointed out to Coler that the money gave him a lot of incentive to keep doing it regardless of the impact, he admitted that was \"correct.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coler says he has tried to shine a light on the problem of fake news. He has spoken to the media about it. But those organizations didn't know who he actually was. He gave them a fake name: Allen Montgomery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coler, a registered Democrat, says he has no regrets about his fake news empire. He doesn't think fake news swayed the election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are many factors as to why Trump won that don't involve fake news,\" he says. \"As much as I like Hillary, she was a poor candidate. She brought in a lot of baggage.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coler doesn't think fake news is going away. One of his sites -- NationalReport.net -- was flagged as fake news under a new Google policy, and Google stopped running ads on it. But Coler had other options.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are literally hundreds of ad networks,\" he says. \"Early last week, my inbox was just filled every day with people because they knew that Google was cracking down -- hundreds of people wanting to work with my sites.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coler says he's been talking it over with his wife and he may be getting out of the fake news racket. But, he says, dozens, maybe hundreds of entrepreneurs will be ready to take his place. And he thinks it will only get harder to tell their websites from real news sites. They know now that fake news sells and they will only be in it for the money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Below are highlights of NPR's interview with Jestin Coler.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003ch3>Interview Highlights\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tell me a little about why you started Disinfomedia?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Late 2012, early 2013 I was spending a lot of time researching what is now being referred to as the alt-right. I identified a problem with the news that they were spreading and created Disinfomedia as a response to that. The whole idea from the start was to build a site that could infiltrate the echo chambers of the alt-right, publish blatantly false or fictional stories, and then be able to publicly denounce those stories and point out the fact that they were fiction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What got you engaged in this?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My educational background is in political science. I've always enjoyed the ideas of propaganda and misinformation. Then I coupled that with an interest in what makes things go viral. So that led me to finding those groups and ultimately to finding contributors. But it was just something I had an interest in that I wanted to pursue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>When did you notice that fake news does best with Trump supporters?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well this isn't just a Trump supporter problem. This is a right-wing issue. Sarah Palin's famous blasting of the lame-stream media is kind of record and testament to the rise of these kinds of people. The post-fact era is what I would refer to it as. This isn't something that started with Trump. This is something that's been in the works for a while. His whole campaign was this thing of discrediting mainstream media sources, which is one of those dog whistles to his supporters. When we were coming up with headlines it's always kind of about the red meat. Trump really got into the red meat. He knew who his base was. He knew how to feed them a constant diet of this red meat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We've tried to do similar things to liberals. It just has never worked, it never takes off. You'll get debunked within the first two comments and then the whole thing just kind of fizzles out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How many domains do you own and run?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, I would say there's somewhere around 25 domains that I am currently managing. National Report has been my bread and butter, where I've spent most of my time. I have people who work with me and for me in developing and maintaining the other sites and social media kind of stuff. (Coler later said not all his sites are fake news.) So I, for the most part, focus on National Report, and a lot of the other stuff is run by other folks on the team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So, you're the publisher of an empire. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, I wouldn't go so far as to call it an empire but, yes, it's several sites (chuckle).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How many people do you have writing for you?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It comes and goes, and as for actual employed writers, again these guys sort of make their own money through ad code. So I don't say, 'Hey, you have to write 10 stories this week' and this and that. Really, we have a more free-form idea where people, when their creativity strikes them, then they can write something. And if they're in a slump then they just go dormant for a while. With that said, at any given time there's probably 20, 25 contributors all over the country. ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Talk about the Denver Guardian.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, it's kind of as a side project. We have some people working on next steps in the fake news industry, and that came from that whole discussion. We had purchased several domain names that sounded legitimate. ... More local news sort of stories. The idea was to make the sites look as legit as possible so the home page is going to be local news and local forecast, local sports, some obituaries and things of that nature, and then the actual fake news stories were going to be buried off the homepage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We've tried lots of things in the past. The dot-com dot co domains were something I toyed in for a while. Those I quickly got away from because you don't get away long with borrowing someone's copyright or trademark. That was something that worked very well from a fake news perspective. People were fooled into the domain name, but that wasn't so much what we were after. So again, the next step was to go after more city-type sites. And the Denver Guardian was one of those sites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You're talking about the future of this (fake news business), which looks more insidious because it's more real? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's the way that it's going to be. Not just from where I am. I mean this is probably going to be my last run in the fake news biz, but I can promise you that it's not going to go away. It's even going to grow bigger and it's going to be harder to identify as it kind of evolves through these steps. ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do you know who wrote the actual FBI Clinton story?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I do know who wrote the story, but only through an anonymous pen name. Privacy is something that we take very seriously in our writers' group. The actual reasonings behind that story ... it's one of hundreds that have been written about mysterious deaths of Clinton associates or political foes. This one kind of took off more than others, I believe, just because of the nature of the story. The people wanted to hear this. So all it took was to write that story. Everything about it was fictional. The town, the people, the sheriff, the FBI guy. Then, we had our social media guys kind of go out and do a little dropping it throughout Trump groups and Trump forums, and boy it spread like wildfire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why hide your identity? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This isn't the safest business to be in, to be honest. Just the number of death threats I've received. I have a beautiful family, a beautiful life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of these people that we ... bait is probably the right word -- are often -- let's call them the deplorables, right? They're not the safest crowd. Some of them I would consider domestic terrorists. So they're just not people that I want to be knocking on my door.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>It seems like National Report is getting spoofier. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you went to National Report today, it's specifically satire. \"Chris Christie nominated to Supreme Food Court.\" \"Sarah Palin Banning Muslims from Entering Bristol Palin.\" They're a little bit more offensive than some people care for their satire. I mean fat shaming and slut shaming isn't something that is normally met with applause. But again, it's a lot more fun in nature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do you make serious money?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It depends on what you would call serious money. I think I do pretty well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Can you say how well?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I would rather not. There have been some people who have been reported on recently. The folks in Long Beach that were doing just all-right stuff. They were reporting $10,000 to $30,000 a month. I think that's probably a relative ballpark.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So you're doing as well as those?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You're making money through the ads?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Who do you work with?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We have several advertisers. Google was one, although they shut down my account last week. We've replaced them with other advertisers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Can I ask who?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are literally hundreds of ad networks. Literally hundreds. Last week my inbox was just filled every day with people, because they knew that Google was cracking down — hundreds of people wanting to work with my sites. I kind of applaud Google for their steps, although I think what they're doing is kind of random. They don't really have a process in place for identifying these things. I happen to know a very successful site that, as of today, of this morning is still serving Google ads. So it seems to be a kind of arbitrary step that they're taking either based on, I don't know if it was my reputation within the industry or specifically the Denver Guardian site that angered them, or I don't know what it is, but back to your question, there's hundreds of people that will work with me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What can be done about fake news? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of this has to fall on the readers themselves. The consumers of content have to be better at identifying this stuff. We have a whole nation of media-illiterate people. Really, there needs to be something done.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do you consider yourself an entrepreneur?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Are you one of the biggest in the fake news biz?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you look at someone who has specifically sometimes peddled in fictional news, then I think that I would probably be considered one of the larger sites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>As a liberal, do you have any regrets?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I don't. Again, this is something that I've been crying about for a while. But outside of that, there are many factors as to why Trump won that don't involve fake news, right? As much as I like Hillary, she was a poor candidate. She brought in a lot of baggage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You don't feel responsible.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I do not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do you think you would have kept doing it if it wasn't so lucrative?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Really the financial part of it isn't the only motivator for me. I do enjoy making a mess of the people that share the content that comes out of our site. It's not just the financial incentive for me. I still enjoy the game, I guess.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Would you do this all over again?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, I guess it came to a head here and we're talking about it. It'll be interesting to see what happens moving forward. If I had to, if I knew specifically the Denver Guardian situation, that would have been handled differently. But everything else, as far as the work I've done with National Report, I'm very proud of, and I'm going to continue doing it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
