I wouldn't say that it is entirely fake.
When I was in Sweden I was hanging out with several Iraqis which confirmed the existence of no-go zones where assaults and arson including car bombs are common in some suburbs of Stockholm. I take their advice with a grain of salt but they had no apparent incentive to be dishonest.
Instead of a crude block list, why not bayesian filtering?
- tptacek 10y agoWhen you were last in Russia did you happen to catch video of the Dalai Lama endorsing Trump and blaming Clinton and Obama for creating ISIS? I don't think trying to rehabilitate this particular fakenews site is a good use of your time, because really you're just going to end up passionately defending a malign shell script.
- jjawssd 10y agoDidn't see those videos. I'm more interested in an answer to my question. I believe that the fake news problem is intractable. You cannot identify any news source as being fake or real objectively. You can only trust other people's interpretations of the information, and other people's interpretations are easily manipulated because people are emotional. What do you think?
- tptacek 10y agoThe "why not Bayesian filtering"? Indeed, why not? Go build that.
