Facebook helps readers tell truth from fiction

Facebook told AFP they are testing a “satire” tag to go in front of links to satirical articles that pop up in news feeds at the service. - See more at: http://www.japantoday.com/category/technology/view/facebook-helps-readers-tell-truth-from-fiction#sthash.id9QJPbn.dpuf

Call it the "Idiot" tag instead.

Sorry but if you can't tell The Onion from the truth then you likely won't understand the truth either.

Sad that this is even needed. Same goes for the number of times I've wished there was a sarcasm font...

Clues for the clueless.

How about a "Bulls***" tag on articles that people would have found were untrue if they'd just spent 10 seconds looking it up on Snopes?

@jumpultimatestars and likely they wouldn't understand the meaning of the word "satire" either, therefore the tag would be useless to them even if it had it.

As if you should take anything posted on your FB newsfeed not with a grain of salt!

I hope they can cut through the deceits of the Koch Brothers, with truth too.
