A plugin to help detect so called "fake news" and ease the work of journalists.

As the internet grows, and the data accumulates, it becomes more and more difficult for people, and journalists in particular to differentiate a legitimate source and a "fake" created for the buzz or by mistake.

But who are we to judge if a news is authentic or not ? We must be careful not to fall in some extremism of speech control. This is why our tool won't decide, in a binary and absolute way, what is authentic or nor. It will display some useful indicators in a concise way.

It will allow the user to get a feeling about an article, an objective opinion on whether this news report seems fake, without necessarily having to go through the painful process of proof-reading and source checking.
