"BBC sets up team to debunk fake news"

To say that boils my piss is really an understatement.

The guardian picking and choosing what has a comment section is why I don't read it.

"The BBC is to assemble a team to fact check and debunk deliberately misleading and false stories masquerading as real news."

It's about time they sorted out the BBC, as it was becoming a bit of a joke!

Was? still is, they are not sorting out the bbc, just everyone else, if they were they would be talking about this fakery

They know what kind of comments they would get on a story like this that's why.

"The plans come after quite a media frenzy around ‘fake news’. False information around ground-breaking events in 2016, such as Brexit and Trump’s election, has caused concern. And media outlets are weighing in from every direction. The trouble is that some are quick to use the term ‘fake news’ when information is presented which doesn’t quite fit the wanted narrative. And some commentators are concerned that the BBC might be using the issue to instil a one-sided agenda by taking control of the narrative."
