    What is fake news? What makes it fake? (3min)
    A fake news is a news not based on true facts/REAL or TRUE SOURCES or supported by scientific datas, but something reported by earing without any real confirmation. The main cause for fake news is THAT magazine, TV, wikis reported news red, listened to from other magazines, TV, wikis.

    Is fake news a problem? Why? (4 mins)
    I honestly think that fake news is quite a serious problem. Nowadays we have
    been bombarded with a huge quantity of news, but journalism “old school”
    doesn’t exist anymore, or it is really rare. Mass media are more interested in
    SENSATIONALIST news, sometimes also FABRICATED news in order to catch the
    attention of people rather than giving proper information.
    The main consequence is that it is almost impossibile to have accurate
    information about what happens around the world.

    ‘Is fake news a problem?’ – excellent @vale. Truly! No mistakes

    In the first paragraph, can you try and correct the following?

    > A fake news is a news not based on …….. or supported by scientific datas …… (clue – countable?)

    > reported by earing (clue – spelling)
