General Discussion

Exposure to relatively non-biased, in-depth news stories likely makes one more discerning/less susceptible to fake news. I used to read the newspaper daily before heading off to work. We no longer get the newspaper, so I have far less exposure than over my lifetime - but that lifetime of exposure had given me pretty good radar for identifying fake news. That lack of in-depth daily exposure is countered, to some extent, by the easy ability to use the internet to fact-check suspicious stories.

But even with less exposure, the only story I hadn't heard anything about was the King of Morocco question. I scored 20/20 - and I spend a fair amount of time on DU recognizing and debunking fake/misleading news that people have been posting as if it was the truth.
So I think there is a connection between exposure to breadth and depth of unbiased news and susceptibility to fake news.
