They need to expand on it and include propaganda, thats a larger threat to society than fake news.

But that would mean they could figure out when they are being manipulated by advertisers... and those advertisers are buddies with politicians on both sides of the aisle.
buddies with politicians on both sides of the aisle.
You managed to "both sides" a situation where one of two parties primarily deals in objectively fake news. You made a point, but was it the one you wanted?
I wasn't very clear. The more you educate someone, the easier it is for them to formulate a reasonable opinion. The more they understand the techniques that can be used to manipulate them, the more they can counter such techniques. However, I could write a news story about how a star guided three magi to Jerusalem approx 2000 years ago where baby Jesus was born by a virgin and schools can't say that is fake news... hell they'll be singing carols about it in school choir. And the Democrats will be using tax dollars to pay for people to lead them in prayer about it in Congress, and our currency will claim that we all believe in this holy divine spirit. To kids, a lie is a lie. Are you going to feed them the American Dream, and whitewash American History too before you teach them to recognize fake news?
My translator reads: "Indoctrination of state propaganda will now start for young children at schools" Weird must be broken.
