Can you spot Fake News?

1 Name: Anonymous : 2017-02-18 19:07
Or as I think of it, False Light News. For example:

A firefighter is at home taking a shower. He hears a commotion outside so he looks out his window. He sees a car flipped over, leaking gas, and on fire. He runs outside naked, and pulls a young mother and her two young daughters out of the burning car.

Which of these two headlines is factually inaccurate:

1. Local Firefighter Saves Family From Burning Vehicle

2. Local Man Publicly Exposes Himself To Two Young Children

You can only vote once. Have at it.

Yeah, it's in Daily Mail.
Or lots of nonsense is printed on April 1.

The news is real. The President is fake.

No really. None of you amateur commentators can answer?

Did he have a hard on while saving the daughters?

Depends on which pundit you ask.

I wouldn't classify either as "fake news," the latter is just an example of spin.

So who's spin do you choose to believe?

Based on your description, the first headline seems more accurate.

I didn't ask which one was more accurate. I asked which one was false.

I reject your premise. Neither is false, because he did expose himself to children.

So which one is false?

Neither, it's a human interest story which is always sensationalized and or manipulative.
