Fake News Detection and Flagging

Abstract

False or fake news is a type of gutter press or disinformation, according to Wikipedia, consisting of deliberate            misinformation or farce pro-pagating by mainstream press, internet dissemination and online social networks. The fake news of these days is causing various issues in some media from satirical posts to a fabricated news and government propaganda program. False news and lack of media confidence are rising issues in our culture, with major repercussions. Obviously, "fake news" is a purposely deceptive story, but lately blurring the dialogue on social media is changing its meaning. Some of them are now using the word to discard the evidence about their desired viewpoints. To separate fake news from what is real fact is necessary in today’s world. Hence, we are going to employ our algorithms that we can identify and distinguish between what news is fake and what is real.
