Four kinds of headline

Mixed together on purpose. That's what makes it hard.

Verified

Real news

Reported by established outlets and backed by sources you can check.

'Tis True
Satire

Made up for laughs

Written to sound plausible, from outlets that never claim to be news.

'Tis False
Conspiracy

Fringe claims

Claims that spread fast and fall apart when you read more.

'Tis False
Opinion

A point of view

Someone's argument. It can still be big news, but it isn't reported fact.
