I am not a technical person. This is a non coder/lay person's point of view, okay?

With that disclaimer, there are some things you have to do: 1. Determine a lie detection strategy. Memes mutate. Tracking the way news changes and differs ever so slightly would require some kind of crawler bot that constantly compares and contrasts several versions and iterations of the same news. Can real news mutate? Probably not. Fake news would keep changing with each pattern because that's it's purpose..to spread and it would use every advantage it can find..2. Pattern recognition. There is a certain pattern to how fake news channels spreads before it comes main stream. 3. Reputation system or rankings. 4. Humans develop deception detection methods as we get more exposed to more deception. So to detect fake news, expose your (what I can only imagine) code or bots or whatever to fake news. 5. Karl popper's falsifiability. Science has the demarcation problem to distinguish between science and pseudoscience. I would like to think of it as science vs unexplained phenomena or non-science.(example: I don't think homeopathy is pseudo science and am reluctant to label it as such..I am also reluctant to label it science) Study scientific method in theory before getting into technical code.
