From the article: “As Facebook works with The Associated Press, FactCheck.org and other organizations to curb the spread of fake and misleading news on its influential network,”

This is just plain stupid. Like the fox & coyotes caring for the chickens.

Fake news has been around since the first printed parchment came off the Gutenburg. More recently, it was called “disinformation”.

Before that, just plain propaganda.

What they want the students to do is to recognize propaganda as fact. Most are ignorant enough to just do that.

I love the term "fake news" because everyone knows what fake is. I think it was coined by a liberal, but applies mostly to the mainstream media. Of course, selectively reporting stories is fake news.

It is not a racial epithet. But, it is resented highly, because it reveals the true nature of the mainstream media.
