Not at all. It's a test to discern journalistic integrity of the writer/publication; not whether or not the headline is true/false. Fake news uses loaded (emotionally charged) words and tends to assert its conclusions as though they are irrefutable facts; placing its own biases front and center. Real journalism is more like real science, in that it uses more matter-of-fact wording and avoids broad or concrete assertions beyond the scope of the underlying information — as no amount of observation or evidence can ever achieve a 100% certainty of fact or remove all possibility of bias. Your comment indicates you do not understand the difference between the two. |
