    Fake News....

    in the Ukraine.

    "KIEV, Ukraine — The studio lights dim, and the anchor taps a stack of papers on her desk and directs a steely gaze toward the television cameras.

    "What appears to be a nightly newscast is about to begin, only with a very Ukrainian twist: Everything is a lie, from start to finish."
    https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/26/w...ighlights&_r=1

    "In other parts of the world, viewers might suspect the evening news is just a bunch of lies, but watching the weekly broadcast of “StopFake News,” they can be certain of it. The group is highly respected in journalistic circles here in Kiev, the Ukrainian capital, for its specialty of debunking fake news."







    "If fact checkers cannot prove that a story published or broadcast by another news media outlet is false, it will not be featured in the weekly airing of “StopFake News.”

    We need a similar show in the U.S. but who is honest enough to put it on?

    Does anyone else see the irony of this article being printed in the NYT?
