  • On 14 November 2016, the web site Viral Liberty was among blogs claiming that the election of Donald Trump as President on 8 November 2016 had prompted the Ford Motor Company to move manufacturing operations from Mexico to Ohio: The item cited a near-identical article that had also appeared on social media on 14 November 2016: That version included no links to substantiate the claim, but a quote revealed that the article had been lifted verbatim from a CNNMoney article published well over a year earlier, on 13 August 2015: Although it was true Ford moved some of their manufacturing operations from Mexico to Avon Lake, Ohio, that change occurred in August 2015 and had nothing to do with the 8 November 2016 election of Donald Trump. Trump did not win the Republican nomination until July 2016, nearly one year after CNNMoney reported Ford's investment in their Avon Lake facility. An October 2015 article by the same outlet and writer reported that Ford had decided on the Ohio move back in 2011.
