Re: Getting people to read is difficult too

I understand that but the fake news spreader is going to spread it if they think it's real and report it as real so it defeats the purpose. The fact they are going to spread it anyway means they don't consider it to be fake in the first place. People are difficult to understand sometimes. I think it's a lack of critical thinking and most importantly common sense. I'm not perfect but I always verify news myself by using multiple sources.
