Hello. You did not inform the report to which this question refers, which makes it impossible to elaborate an answer exactly, but I will try to help you in the best possible way.
In general, we can say that most of the fake news disseminated during the election period originated from social networks. The creators of these fake news prefer to use this type of media, due to the ease in which the information is propagated through it, reaching a large number of people in a matter of minutes.
The spread of fake news is made by the population, but the creation of fake news is made by a group of people with the objective of harming candidates with relevance and making them "incriminated" by crazy and unrealistic crimes.
