I use the term “fake news” to refer to doctored social media posts that were never written by the purported authors, or real photos taken out of context and given new captions. Sharing such posts because they flatter your pre-conceived notions of the targets contributes to the devaluing of the truth. Politicians have put spins…

Facebook’s Patrick Walker assured a room full of journalists that Zuck’s strategy to combat fake news will work.
