On 2 December 2016 The Associated Press reported: On the second floor of a noisy sports center in the Macedonian town of Veles, a teenage purveyor of fake news cracked open his laptop and laid out his case for why lying is more lucrative than the truth. Real news gets reported everywhere, he argued. Made-up stories are unique. 'The fake news is the good news,' the 18-year-old said, pointing to a graph showing his audience figures, which reached into the hundreds of thousands, a bling watch clasped firmly around his wrist. 'A fake news article is way more opened than any other.' Global Good News service views this news as the failure of modern government and education systems. Such 'flops' highlight the need for more intelligent, evolutionary, Natural Law based, life-supporting systems.

BuzzFeed News identified Veles as a hub of the fake news industry seeding sensationalized or falsified information across Facebook. A reporter from Britain's Channel 4 News chased the industry's adolescent kingpins across town, cornering one 16-year-old fake news baron who said he had no plans to stop -- even though he acknowledged it was wrong.

But there were no such qualms from the teenager who spoke to The Associated Press at Veles' Gemdidzii Sports Hall.
