How To Create Fake News? Here Is One Recipe.

This is not a long article, so I cannot write a lot — not to spoil it. BUT as fake news are the buzzwords of 2016 and 2017, it's really interesting to dig deeper into this phenomena. 

We don't know exactly how much fake news is there out there. Much less than in reality. Yet the effects are dangerous — decline of trust. That's the biggest challenge. Who and why creates them intentionally. Many questions around it. 

Here is one answer. 

New York Times shows how they traced back a story which made it to Fox News from ... a parody website. It's good to see how the story spreads from simple hoax, through social media, and then suddenly becomes a major one.
