Examples of fake news:
It’’s comforting to imagine that when faced with outright falsehoods, readers would recognize “fake news” for what it is and stop it in its tracks. Indeed, some have argued that the only reason fake news stories have penetrated the national conversation is because bots and nefarious outside actors have tried to push lies on a virtuous public. But reporting on a new study, Robinson Maryar at The Atlantic writes that data science contradicts that idea. In fact, it seems we like fake news, seek it out and spread it much more quickly than the truth. Here are the some news that goes viral recently:
1. The saga of 'Pizza gate': The fake story that shows how conspiracy theories spread
2. Melania Trump’s body double
3. Trump’s voter-fraud fever dream
