Float it on Brietbart or Alex Jones.

Hannity picks it up and puts it on air.

Other conservative sites pick it up citing and linking to Hannity.

GOP figures (now Chief conspiracy Propogator is the CiC via Hannity) push it.

Concurrently twitter and social media go wild.

Story then gets covered on the more newsy part of Fox New - and then into the (conservative) mainstream media.

How pure poppycock becomes alternative FactsToBeBelieved by Trump supporters.

We are way behind the curve with our message of reality vs their RW fantasy.
