Almost a case of folksonomy is action.

I’ve seen misreporting and sensationalism in newspapers where I’ve known the true story behind the hype. This sort of fake news is a worrying trend that I’ve written about in other posts.  Fortunately there does seem to be some rallying against it and state imposed pressure on media companies to help their viewers and readers appraise content critically to evaluate the likelihood of it being factually correct.
