Does anyone else have any suggestions on how we can fight against the proliferators of “fake news?"

Encourage people to use their brains. Instead of crying about how someone tricked you with their "Bale to Spurs" or "Neymar to United" story, don't click on things that are obviously garbage, there's nothing forcing you to.
Establish credible sources that you trust and cross-check a couple of those against anything you're not sure about.
If you're sick of the websites you like reporting rubbish tell them, and go elsewhere. If website visits go down so will ad revenue, they will pay attention. Unfollow all the garbage twitter accounts and Facebook pages.
The only alternative is handing over control of what we read to some faceless organisation, or worse, the government. Take responsibility for what you read and think.
I would write a meaningful comment but looks like citrenoogeht (U13932) will just delete it.

Simple answer is to ignore al the crap.Only click on legitimate links from trusted sources. If someone says its a rumour treat it as no more than that. Even players the club is genuinely trying to sign falls through so often news about that isnt even enough to take it as happening. Only really take notice of confirmed deals.
Fake news means, it’s the truth, but I don’t like it by Donald Dump.
