Very small point about this story, regarding the true|false|mixture|satire options, specifically the satire option - good satire can almost be indistinguishable from proposed fact. In other words, I daresay that people of less education and less experience reading (or where the article is written in a language which is not the reader's first language) would not realize it is satire. This has happened many times where certain political groups have promoted Onion stories that appear to favor their policies - but which are clearly satire to some of us. So even if the fact checkers could stay on top of the flood of misinformation, I expect there could be a minimal formula for getting content marked as Satire while still delivering false information to gullible/ignorant readers. A problem too great (or late) to solve is the relative ignorance of many of the readers. These are also the people who vote in politicians who work directly against their needs. When a person can stand in a burning building and say, "We're sure glad we got our guy leading the government, because those other guys would have ruined everything we care about." No amount of fact checking can solve this mental problem.
