External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Opinion poll. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20151010133249/http://www.aapor.org/AAPORKentico/AAPOR_Main/media/MainSiteFiles/AAPOR_Social_Media_Report_FNL.pdf to https://www.aapor.org/AAPORKentico/AAPOR_Main/media/MainSiteFiles/AAPOR_Social_Media_Report_FNL.pdf

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

Removing Source Content under 'Social media as a source of opinion on candidates'

Greetings all.

I have removed the following text under the section Social media as a source of opinion on candidates to keep the page unbiased and neutral:

"This fact makes the issue of fake news being spread throughout it more influential. Other evidence surrounding fake news shows that: the most popular fake news stories were more widely shared on Facebook than the most popular mainstream news stories; many people who see fake news stories report that they believe them; and the most discussed fake news stories tended to favor Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton. As a result of these facts, some have concluded that if not for these stories, Donald Trump may not have won the election over Hillary Clinton."

The current source links to https://web.stanford.edu/~gentzkow/research/fakenews.pdf

On page 212 of that source we can see the quote that has been added to the Wikipedia page. This source cites Craig Silverman as the source and comes from BuzzFeed. Refer to [Reputation] and note "a Pew Research Center surveyfound that in the United States, BuzzFeed was viewed as an unreliable source by the majority of people, regardless of political affiliation."

As a result I have removed this source content to strengthen the articles neutral point of view, as well as uphold Wikipedia's goal for facts to take precedence over opinions. (See Facts Precede Opinions)

Thank you.
