Why Fake News Is Bad
Because some of the people who believe lies act on them:
A man who said he was investigating a conspiracy theory about Hillary Clinton running a child sex ring out of a pizza place has fired an assault rifle inside the Washington restaurant injuring no-one, police and news reports said.
So who is going to accept responsibility for this? This guy could have just as easily killed everyone in the place, but the people who created this lie would feel no remorse for getting people killed.

A lot of politicians outside of the US have decided to ‘get out while the getting’s good’.
Italian PM Matteo Renzi just lost a referendum – badly. That was his clue that there was no point in hanging around.
New Zealand PM John Key is quitting to actually spend more time with his family – really. The only noticeable problem he has had was his attempt to get a new flag. This might be tied to Trump as Key was a major supporter of the Trans Pacific Partnership that Trump has already called ‘toast’.
In Iceland the job of forming a new government has been given to the Pirate Party. The Pirates came in third in the recent election, but neither of the top parties were able to form a coalition.
