How do you recognise a conspiracy theory?

Do you know a conspiracy theory? Do you believe in it?

Can you write a headline for a conspiracy theory?

The willing suspension of disbelief: 

people often believe what they want to believe.

People are often drawn to stories that reinforce the way they see the world and how they feel about certain issues. Fake news is no exception, and many of the articles that fall under its umbrella are designed to stir up emotion in readers and prey on their biases.

So what do you do..?

You:

It’s important to check that news stories are based on fact, rather than sharing them because they support one side of an argument.
