Fake CPD?

The term Fake News is a new one to most of us, having come to our attention during the recent US Presidential election. It is also referred to as hoax news, and is not to be confused with satire, because the Fake News strives to mislead, rather than to entertain. Some of the fake news during the 2016 US presidential election season was traced to adolescents in Macedonia, specifically Veles,¹ with the Mayor of this town not expressing any anxiety regarding this, as the actions of the Fake News writers was not, he said, against Macedonian law and their finances were taxable. Some of the fake news stories were flanked by advertising by reputable organizations, leading to one such company stating that the company was frustrated, also acknowledging the risk of using automated adverts. All of this is now the subject of a Parliamentary enquiry.
