Can you spot a fake news story? When should you question an online article's source and how can you check it?
On Petrie's panel today is former political advisor Andrew MacDougall and journalist Michael Booker, who discuss how and why fake news is being distributed, how to spot the tell-tale signs of a made-up story and why seemingly ridiculous counter arguments are being heard at all.
Plus, how have the likes of Trump been able to use the current narrative and social media to their advantage?
