“Disinformation” is once again in the news.
On one side are people who say that if something sounds like a fake news story and smells like a fake news story, then it is indeed a fake news story.
On the other side are people who say that if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it’s probably already been eaten by a Haitian immigrant.
Whom to believe?
In any normal period, it would be fairly easy to work out what is going on.
In a story like the one from Springfield, Ohio, people make claims, the media investigate them and then everyone decides whom they believe.
