But.. does the article..
1. Have an actual author's name as the writer?
2. Does the website list a physical address for their news organization HQ?

There's plenty of fake news that comes from fully credentialed outlets and well known "journalists". But thx!

Does the site name resemble CNN?

Is the Aurthors name Brian Stelter?

Good thread…

Well done…

Ellipses…

Funny thing (or not so funny) these days is that if it is related to American politics, that's going to be true almost all of the time.

I like keeping up with the latest, but I've seen too many article links coming from ridiculous domains similar to things like thestandardnewschronicle.com or themaintimesnewsnow.com.. then, the article doesn't list an author or is written by "Admin" or by "The News Team".. then, I look around the site and find there is no physical address or phone number.
Sus.

Hard hitting stuff OP. How do I subscribe to your future content?

3. Is Dan Rather involved?

Does the scientific article actually list a methodology?

LOL. There is an actual MSN segment from CNN where you see that --- a bus passing in the background gave it away. And an NBC (?) one faked a woman rowing a boat in a parking lot -- than two people walked buy with barely ankles covered in the water.

You mean like all of the articles about Russian Collusion in the Washington post?

I bet zerohedge has a better accuracy rate than the WaPo at this point.

You gotta watch the real news channels just as close. If author is "staff", that likely means a bot spit it out and someone might have proofread it. I've also seen our local station post some questionable stuff and when you google the author, it comes back to a marketing director aka the company paid for it.

If it's not one of the top stories of the night that has a real-life reporter attached to it, it's trash.

In Houston the real life reporters are spewing leftist propaganda. I usually can't get through one report without hearing obvious lies and misinformation. For the most part, the entire news show is trash.

Absolutely no question this is true. ZeroHedge does a great job citing sources in most of their stuff.

Even when they are caught in a lie, they lie about why they were lying.

Is the OP implying that fake news is more likely to come from articles which have a persons name attached and their news organization's physical address easily found? You have just summed up CNN and MSNBC
