    So, with a whole lotta fakin’ goin’ on, who can separate fact from fiction, real from rubbish, the big issues from the bs???
    I got er… a very modest 4.

    It said I got 3/8 but clearly fake as I swear I got at least 5 right! Bit random wasn’t it? Why the f should I know or care which of those is true or false. I’m hardly going to be repeating them!

    You won’t be repeating them, but no doubt some will.
    But it’s pretty random.
    There should be one about the kind of rubbish circulating online, like vaccinations being done to implant microchips, the EU being unelected, or the number of lies Trump told during and after his presidency (over 30,000). No doubt that contributes to his popularity with some on here.

    6/8 right, got the pigeon and American Football player questions wrong, quite pleased even if it’s just a random mixed selection but after watching and listening to Trump videos on YouTube over recent years I reckon it’s sharpened up my fake news perception quite a lot.
