Google and Facebook have finally announced that they are going to limit the sites that contain fake news. Not everything you see online is fake news, but Eugene Kiely and Lori Robertson claim that "Snopes.com has been exposing false viral claims since the mid 1990s, whether that’s fabricated messages, distortions containing bits of truth and everything in between." The steps to find spot fake news is the consider the source, read beyond the headline, check the author, check the date, check the biases, and consult the experts. Theres more fake news out there than real news, so be careful what you read.
