This is the most important comment. Whenever i hear about someones saying that "XYZ should do something about fake news" i understand that they really dont understand the depth of the problem. Solving "fake news" is a non-trivial problem and no single arbiter of truth can tackle it, Facebook, twitter etc are claiming about "cracking down of fake news" but all that is just hogwash.

People seem to forget that the initial problem that led to the term “fake news” being used was actual fake, completely made up out of thin air, news.

“Pope endorses Donald trump” being the classic example

Not lying with statistics
