Re: Filtering Fake news

"So if a member of Hezbollah blow up a bus of Israeli soldiers a terrorist attack?"

And the answer is that it just doesn't matter. The important bit is knowing that yes, "Bomb going off on bus full of Israeli soldiers" did indeed happen. All the rest of qualifying can be done by each to his/her taste - it isn't that part that creates the "fake" in fake news.
