Fake news: False information used to shape your views, options or ideas.
The information is often exaggerated, heavily biased or simply not true.
It is often intentionally misleading.
It can also be known as propaganda.
I think that people write fake news because they want to make money and/or influence people.
You can spot fake news by checking the date, source, biases etc.
