I wrote something that examines how factual a television drama based on real events is, which is in Peer Review here: F48874?thread=8317614
Not sure to what extent judging how factual something is for any given value of 'fake' makes it interesting to read...?

That was REALLY interesting. 
And fact-checking can be a lot of fun, can't it?

I'm glad you liked that one and I didn't have to write another 'Terminator' one this month. My back-up plan was to drag that Doctor Who thing out of the alternative writing workshop on the grounds that if Doctor Who fiction counts as factual content, factual content must be fake.

I've found somebody who knew what to do with fake news: Jane Addams, the crusading founder of Hull House. Read about her encounter with the Devil Baby at A87886868 .
