After seeing a little documentary, I noticed actually how much of the news I watch is total bull. There's a simple rule to see if the story you're watching is real or not.
Fake stories have these following qualities...
Composed solely of clips that involve the subject, such as a labratory in a story about chemicals or health. If it's about the effects of TV on children, and it's only clips of people sitting around watching it in a living room, it's fake. Guarenteed.
A spokesperson who sounds like they actually finished the interview about the subject they were covering.
No actual footage of claim.
"A recent study suggests..." 90% of the time, any story beginning with this is not true.
Real news bits will probably have the following...
REAL proof
Interviews with recognisable people, such as George W. Bush.
If an interview with a "Professional" cuts off suddenly, it's most likely a real interview.
There's a few I'm forgetting, but try figuring out how many obviously fake stories you see on the news. You'll probably be surprised. |

I have seen a bunch of things about recent studies suggest. And most of those were lies? Geez, and some of that stuff looked unbelievable.
Also, if 50% of news is untrue, how do we know the news about "50% of news is untrue" is true? ... Lol |

"Exposed" documentary.
Would you believe a news story on how grapes prevent cancer? I've seen one. |

But if it were false, that would make the statistic true, therefore creating a never-ending parallel in the fabric of reality. >_> |
