Here’s How Fake News Works (and How the Internet Can Stop It) | WIRED

I listen to multiple sources of news then decide what closest resembles the truth.

Who did u vote for??

[@vere9652]

I did the exact same thing. But when it comes to two different perspective, i can't tell which one is the lying one

[@johnjohnsonsen667]

@@vere9652 in that case i decide not to choose a side YET and keep it in the middle. not gonna spread something i can't be sure about

[@vere9652]

@@johnjohnsonsen667 I found good way, how to tell where is the truth. I look for the site history, if the site was lying before, or if it has any scandals.

[@dtsai]

Most of the fake news sites are free because they need as many poor people to read their trash as possible to make a profit. They also censor people because don't allow people to comment on their sites. Just look at Fox and NY Post.

The government just want to protect you all against fake nwes. What is fake news? Everything what criticize your government of course. Elections are also pretty bad, criminals tell you lies to get elected. Obey to the truth and have a wonderful life with heroin.

+Brad Fortin No need for a citation. Turn on CNN and within an hour there will be at least one fake news story. In this context I'm using the term "fake news" loosely as CNN doesn't present completely false stories but they are worded and phrased in deceptive ways. To me, those are just as bad.

[@fatsacktony1]

Wow a fake news video about fake news. Fake-ception. LEMME GUESS, BILLIONAIRE OWNERS = REAL NEWS.

[@Blaze6108]

CNN is biased, sources like Breitbart are downright fake. There's a very substantial difference between saying something true with some bias, and completely making up things. I'm pretty sure that the MSM is statistically far more likely to be not-fake than, say, Breitbart or UltraFreedomEagle.com. It wasn't the MSM who read a police report saying "firecracker accident" and reacted by publishing "Migrants burn down Germany's oldest church".

[@fredgarvinMP]

Sooo...censorship. Or the Orwellian term "prebunking".

[@richard1113]

Good video and this explains a lot. Not just fake news but how those incessant, annoying ads follow us around. You guys should do a video of how we can avoid/stop that from happening.

News outlets should be held to very high standards by the public. New outlets should try to incorporate viewpoints from opposing opinions, especially when dealing with controversial subjects.

A lie is not "an opposing opinion", it is a lie

I wonder whatever happened to "Boris" when he was finally busted.

[@janlevihaven9462]

Because he was still in school then, he was probably underaged and moreover most likely was not punished that badly.

IS the "one guy in Macedonia" a metaphor or is Wired saying it all traces back to Boris? (It doesn't)

[@Udinanon]

It's not just it but Macedonia was one of the biggest sources of this, expecially from young people interested only in big bucks

You know that Fake News are real, not in the sense that politically charged news are fake, but in the sense that people started making up stories to make money Here in Italy this has been happening for quite some time, blogs just poting what they want and saying it's TRUTH and that the media don't want to share it just because you can make a lot of money from ads and such
