publish fake news stories as humorous attempts to satirize the
media, but have the potential to fool when shared out of
context.

context – selectively chosen real facts that are reported to gain
headlines, but tend to be a misinterpretation of scientific
research.
3) Sloppy reporting that fits an agenda – news that contains
some grains of truth that are not fully verified, which are used
to support a certain position or view.
7. 4) Intentionally deceptive – news that has been fabricated
deliberately to either make money through number of
clicks, or to cause confusion or discontent or as

12. fight back
• Pressure needs to be mounted and sustained, continuously and
relentlessly, on broadcast media, which gets easily distracted
by shiny ratings.
• Boycotts are truly effective. In general, email campaigns, using
social media to get factual information out—even when it feels
as if it’s falling on deaf ears beneath the cacophony of junk—all
of it helps.
• Mass complaints to Facebook, Twitter, Google, or other social
media.
• Remind acquaintances (online and off) that they should never
tweet, re-tweet, or share stories from unknown sources.
• Subscribe to responsible newspapers and newsmagazines
