Mistakes in articles do not count as Fake News. The source even stated that the details were vague...
Details of the alleged murder were still vague.
So like tornado sightings?
Correct. Very vague.
Well, reporting a total different story than what really happened (a farmer shot his worker in a labour dispute after attempting to steal a trekker vs the worker stole the trekker and security chased him and shot him) and also quoting a false interview with a police officer vs the actual statement released by police...
If you see this a small mistake and not fake news.... it is your thread.
It's based on a real event they just got some of the details wrong. Probably interviewed the wrong sources. They usually correct it in subsequent articles. And they admitted it was vague. I'm willing to give them the BOTD. As much as I also hate news24.
Fake News is usually completely fictitious stories.
If you understand the Motive & Funding behind any news, it does not matter whether its fake or not.
