Think You Can Tell Real News From Fake News?

It is a weird world we're living in and it's sometimes hard to sort out truth from fiction. Factitious is a game that tests your ability to spot fake news. I scored pretty well but I misidentified a true story titled "Cops swear in 'drug sniffing' bearded dragon" as fake news. Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.

Test your news sense here. It's fun.

  2. These days fake news can be very convincing and real news unbelievable.
