The Washington Post, which was one of about a dozen news outlets that Trump banned from his campaign events for a few months this summer, has released a Chrome browser plugin that adds Post-sponsored commentary into Trump’s Twitter feed.

Facebook’s Patrick Walker assured a room full of journalists that Zuck’s strategy to combat fake news will work.
