There were tons of misinformation sites in place the moment the web existed. I was there, 6,000 years ago...

Seriously though, Fox News and all the other Murdoch owned media has been a firehouse for decades. Magazines and print media like the Weekly World News as well. On the internet the misinformation spreader set up shop early, and it was mainly the search engines that directed people to the better sources.

The main change is that the people are choosing to consume the firehose of social media.
