The man behind Denver Guardian (and many other fake news websites) is a registered Democrat from California

A few weeks before the election, we debunked a fake news story from a site touting itself as the “Denver Guardian.” The story was just a drop in the ocean of fake news that has since been uncovered and discussed on a national scale since the Nov. 8 election, from the halls of Facebook’s corporate headquarters, to the Airbnb rentals of the men crafting and distributing fake news, to President Obama calling out fake news on an international stage. But, because we here at The Post are biased against people claiming to be from Denver, the man behind the fake Denver Guardian site still stuck in my craw. I began a short investigation into the Google ads that were run on the site and discovered, with the help of tipster Tim Elliot, where he discovered that the same ad code was used on multiple sites, including NationalReport.net.
