Can you spot Fake News?


Or as I think of it, False Light News. For example:

A firefighter is at home taking a shower. He hears a commotion outside so he looks out his window. He sees a car flipped over, leaking gas, and on fire. He runs outside naked, and pulls a young mother and her two young daughters out of the burning car.

Which of these two headlines is factually inaccurate:

1. Local Firefighter Saves Family From Burning Vehicle

2. Local Man Publicly Exposes Himself To Two Young Children

You can only vote once. Have at it.

I have a library card. That makes me right.

Based on your description, the first headline seems more accurate.

The journals "Science" and "Nature" also have a political agenda. - jon-gwynne

I go by fake news as having the most advertising in it over real news. But how it is posted with the headline as clickbait says don't open this story it is fake and wants you more to see the advertising .
