Hello!
Recently I've been working on a project called "Pants on Fire", an automated solution to detecting and weeding out fake news. The site uses a combination of a static list (maintained by opensources.co), sentiment analysis, and a machine learning based approach (using Tensorflow, the machine learning framework from Google) to detect sensationalist and misleading language in the text of the article. This project is still a work in progress, but the code is available here: https://github.com/javathunderman/pants-on-fire
Let me know what you think! I appreciate any help or feedback.
