endingthefed.com was run by 24-year-old Ovidiu Drobota out of Oradea, Romania.
This extremely biased site uses incendiary ClickBait tactics that are quick to draw ire and attention, mostly through Facebook shares.
“Ending the Fed” propagated a false story in August 2016 that incorrectly stated Fox News had fired journalist Megyn Kelly. The story grew prominence on Facebook’s “Trending News” section.
Regarding propagating fake-news on the site, Drobota said in an Inc.com interview:
“I thought I can help [Trump] to win the presidency by creating a website. So I created http://endingthefed.com. I feel sorry for posting some ‘fake’ news. I removed them but at that time, I didn’t really know about them being fake.”
Early in the previous presidential election cycle, endingthefed.com rehashed an old, disproven notion that Sen. Elizabeth Warren used her much disputed Native American heritage to score a high-paying job at Harvard.
