> How can you know what news is real

It's actually easier to tell today whether something is fake because there are more outlets to determine an intersection within.

Here's how you do it:

Read both CNN and Fox. If something is reported on both, it's real. For stories that exist on both, notice the slant of each story. Pay attention to emotive conjugation [1] and ask yourself these three questions:

1. Why did the editors pick this story?

2. What is their opinion of it and the actors in it?

3. What stories are not being reported because the editors are not interested in them.
