The Sunâs Hillsborough stories used to teach MPs how to recognise fake news
Exclusive: Russian bot effort to stir up Islamophobia also part of course on misinformation and disinformation

I think this is a useful thing to do. Although you would hope that they were bright enough to spot the bullshit anyway.
The Sun is probably the biggest source of lies in the UK. Their coverage of the hillsborough tragedy and the miners strike still echo today.
The islamaphobia stuff is interesting. I remember the case quoted of the girl on her phone. I think some dick on here even used it to make their muslim hate point. I didnt realise at the time it was russian inspired.
I wonder how much more fake news originates in Russia ? Certainly the various covid scares are probably russian inspired. Probably the climate change denialism as well.
Maybe this stuff needs to be taught in schools. There is so much crap around at the moment that is centred on the stupidity of people.
Maybe Marje would not be talking about Jewish space lasers if she had been educated ? Only joking. There are some people that education cannot help.
