Fake News (Book)

I saw a listing of recommendations for various CIA related type books. True or False is a different sort of thing. Written by a former CIA analyst, it is an investigation (geared for teens, but adults can benefit) of fake news. Useful reference to have.

It first runs through a history from Ancient Egypt to modern times. Interesting. Mixed in here are some lessons like looking at motives of those who promote suspect information. It would have been more helpful if the lessons were highlighted (maybe with stars or something). The second half is specifically about how to sight and fight fake news.

Baseball: Meanwhile, the Red Sox (blah but okay), Astros (same/has baggage but not a big fan of the White Sox), and Braves (over Brewers; either are okay) advanced in four. The Dodgers/Giants alone will play a fifth game. Theme so far is a lot of bullpen and long running times (bullpen + commercials help). [Dodgers won in the 9th.]
