Sven Hughes is a former British Army Psychological Warfare officer now running two strategic communications companies: Verbalisation and Global Influence. He explains that Fake News is nothing new, having been used in the past by everyone from the Romans to the Mongolian Emperor Genghis Khan. He believes many of us use confirmation bias when listening to or reading the news, in other words we believe what we want to believe. Words are being increasingly weaponised in hybrid warfare and he advocates the use of Facebook Snopes, Le Monde who have developed tools to flag up fake news. http://www.verbalisation.com http://www.globalinfluence.com https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5HLtZ2yh9s
