Assignment problem:
Read these two articles
Article 1: Symptoms, cures for fake news By Cadence Bambenek
Article 2: The Baloney Detection Kit: Carl Sagan's Rules for Bullshit-Busting and Critical Thinking By Maria Popova
Now, find an article on the internet that appears to be an example of a misrepresentation of scientific findings in some way. Include a link to the article in your post, along with an explanation using 2 or more of Carl Sagan's baloney detection points, telling us why you believe it to be a misrepresentation of scientific findings.
Then, discuss the author's motivation for the misrepresentation - honest mistake? Conflict of interest? Sensationalism? Something else?
