Hello all,
I teach a research class to high schoolers that discusses bad sources of information (unreliable websites, biased information, fake news, etc.). I love using examples of these bad sources - the more outrageous, the better! My problem is that most of the examples I find tend to be from far right-wing sources (Pizza-gate, birtherism, Kellyanne Conway's "alternative facts," etc.). My own personal politics aside, I don't want kids who identify as more conservative to feel like their team is being unfairly picked on. Does anyone have some good examples of fake news-ish type things from the Left?
Thanks so much!
