Fake News
News has a way of helping readers separate fact from fiction. But what happens when news is fiction?
Some fake stories of 2016 reaffirmed people's biases: "FBI agent suspected in Hillary email leak found dead in apparent murder-suicide," while others were outright outrageous: "Woman Arrested For Defecating On Boss' Desk After Winning The Lottery." In a time of "alternative facts" consumers must be on the lookout.
