Here's a good example. This tweet from a respected Dr. is really unfortunate.

"But it’s called the Presidential Alert because Trump has a huge ego. And he loves his intruding into our lives without consent."

He states it as though it's fact. Now many of his 200,000+ followers also think that, if they didn't already.

I might've also believed that if I didn't do the work to look it up.

Do we consider this fake news?
