Im not sure i agree with all of those items on the list. For instance breaking news is just that – breaking, developing – does anyone take at face value (not needing adjustment) the first media reports? News is shared so shared news isnt fake, it is shared.
Trying to stop fake news is impossible imo at least until the net and phones die. //shiver – then we won’t know anything about anywhere!!! – shiver//
It wouldn’t even stop then: fraud has been around forever.
Not to mention that humans are notoriously unreliable witnesses, as any criminal lawyer can attest. Did you see the gorilla?
