Fake News: Sources that intentionally fabricate information, disseminate deceptive content, or grossly distort actual news reports.
When media houses fail to do their due diligence, the facts become more elusive making it all the more easy for misinformation to spread. If unchecked, content found online can even bleed into traditional broadcast and print media further perpetuating disinformation.There are at least four daunting problems with what is called fake news. And the solution—education—becomes ever more difficult as fake news proliferates. The key issues include:

1.Confusion about the facts
2.Susceptibility to deception
3.Fabricated stories to tarnish the image of political opponents
4.Repetition to create familiarity with fake news thereby casting doubt on the facts
Russia is simply the biggest global player in the spread of fake news: there are many other sources of viral deception.
