Daniel Wagner Posted April 8, 2017 Posted April 8, 2017 With all the talk of fake news going around lately, I created this guide to help solve the problem once and for all! You won't find a better guide anywhere on the internet http://www.unframeofmind.com/blog/fake-news-guide I'd love your thoughts on this so that I can continue to improve upon it and make it the most comprehensive guide on determining truth from falsehood in the new media. 2

Chauncey Tinker Posted April 12, 2017 Posted April 12, 2017 Some good observations there. One observation about comment sections - here in the UK there is an additional factor which is the fear of legal problems. Its no longer just a concern relating to ongoing court cases either, but the creeping introduction of laws limiting speech, such as the terrible "Communications Act" which allows prosecutions of "grossly offensive" communications. In Europe more widely there is also a growing clamour to clamp down on so-called "fake news". These are chilling times for the freedom of speech in Europe. I spent quite a lot of time a while back looking at fake news claims and counter claims. You might like to read some of my articles on this for example: "A Post-Truth Era?
