Re: My aunt has started sharing articles from a rightwing website on facebook

Honestly, unless she's posting or commenting on things publicly, I don't think there's anything you can do, apart from mentioning the sources are flawed IF it comes up in conversation. Being too accusatory might only push her the other way, and/or make her feel embarrassed. But you can certainly find a time to point out that it's not the most reliable source. (But prepared to back yourself up with a source yourself. "It's obviously fake" probably won't fly with her.)

That being said, posting controversial things publicly on social media can damage your personal life. So I would caution her against doing that, if she is. Especially given that she is a generally nice but misguided and non-internet savvy person - it would be horrible to see her lose her job or have her reputation put at stake because of a misguided post on the internet. :(

"Being too accusatory might only push her the other way, and/or make her feel embarrassed."

This is exactly my problem :( this particular website isn't nazi territory in any way, just... right-wing and the comment section is allegedly populated by conspiracy theorists even if their articles are generally just myopic. I don't think she'll suffer any big social consequences about this, but I'd just hate to lose a person I honestly cherish into that idiocy.
