    Fox News and CNN News should have a televised debate.

    With so much FAKE NEWS doing the rounds on Social Networks and the Internet, I thought this might prove helpful for some to cross check against and see if the the News they are reading and sharing actually is coming from a legitimate source;

    I agree. And I'm not sure I have the will to put any effort into it. If the election of Trump didn't do it for me, then I suppose nothing will.

    Book recommendation on the subject. It's a great book and I'm going to read it again. I lost my book notes when someone stole my cellphone. Grr.

    If you need a list to determine what's real and what's fake, then your problems are probably beyond the help of that list.

    Fake news which you read and forget (or read for entertainment) is probably less damaging than legit news which you over-react to.

    I generally don't chase news except for certain tech news outlets and high quality news-letters. Generally anything important will filter down even through those channels. If the news is something which may impact (or require) decision making, then I'll look for solid analysis. I like well presented, well structured arguments. Even if the content is fake, at least the structure is sound (and probably still worth reading even if I knew it was fake).

    Haha, I take it Fox News isn't on Dustin's list. It's Wikipedia, feel free to edit the page as you see fit.

    I understand that news takes time to filter to Afghanistan. But your information is outdated.
