   "Journalists hate the term fake news, but there's a troubling     
   reality: spin doctors routinely try to dupe them into reporting     
   misleading and distorted stories.   
      
   "Check the news on any given day and here's what you'll find: Governments   
   routinely lie. Companies inflate claims about their products and practices.   
   Institutions release studies with misleading data meant to deceive. Police   
   departments, infected by systemic racism, downplay crimes against Indigenous   
   and racialized people.   
      
   "The public depends on the media to help them understand the world, but are   
   journalists catching all the daily lies, omissions, and distortions? Shrinking   
   newsrooms and an army of spin doctors mean journalists can get duped. Despite   
   valiant efforts by a handful of investigative journalists, the truth is   
   routinely left behind.   
      
   "Award-winning journalist Cecil Rosner insists there is something we can do   
   about this. We can pressure news organizations to stop blindly regurgitating   
   the firehose of press releases and focus instead on determining what is   
   actually true. Rosner empowers readers by sharing his techniques for detecting   
   misinformation and disinformation.
