News Fake Detecting

Really, I think it's pretty easy to detect fake news any more, just turn on the TV or go to just about any news site on the net. Most of it is fake to some degree because just about every news agency doesn't just report the news any more, they report their opinions. I long for the time when the news reported with little or no slant and we decided. And maybe I'm just living in a dream world and it was always like this.

Every time I see unnamed source identified I start with a skeptical attitude towards the story.

This is one of the reasons I do not watch many news sources. Granted I have to have CNN on at work but that is mostly back ground noise as I can not tell you want is happening in the world unless it is something major. If something happens I go to the internet and search different sources to find what all have in common to give me the core of what really is happening without the spin each news agency wants to put on it.
