I'll stop harping on this soon. But again, I want to stress, using linguistic (or other) cues in the article itself is a poor way to identify fake news. That's what both the humans and the AI systems do as described in this article, and yet we find they're both wrong a quarter of the time. The way to distinguish between fake and non-fake is not to study the news item more closely, it's to find additional sources, to verify, to confirm. The only thing fake-news-detecting algorithms will produce is more convincing fake news.
