Nowadays more news come from different places, different people and different time. Very easy to share news from other to one another but the problem is not all news are eligible to believe because some are just created for fun purposes. More people's become victims of fake news that some involve celebrities, politicians, and well known person are the issues.

How we can eliminate fake news?
We can't. But there is a solution for people not to believe in fake news. Go to trusted news site and verify from the television news if it is real or not. Most people easily believe what they see on the internet. Also, be a good reader. Analyze the news carefully. You can tell if the article you're reading is fake or not.
News stories are complicated in ways that computers have difficulty dealing with.There are some very smart people looking at automated solutions now, around automated fact checking, which can get up to about 80% accurate.I would argue we are always going to need human eyes at the very end to say 'hang on, have we got entirely duped.

There a small things that we can do to eliminate fake news but it will mean a lot. What I am doing is to report the one who post the fake news. I also leave comments and proof that the news was not true. Going to legit news site will also help. For social media, don't hit the like button. Hitting it and sharing the post wull just spread the fake news.
Algorithms are part of what spreads fake news - because juicy yet false stories which become popular can be pushed out to new eyeballs by the software that runs social networks.

News hoaxes often use provocative sensational titles, for example by pointing directly at a particular party. The contents can also be taken from official media news, it's just changing to cause the desired perception of the hoax maker.
Therefore, if you find news with a provocative title, we should look for references in the form of similar news from the official online site, then compare the contents, whether the same or different. Thus, at least we as readers can get a more balanced conclusion.

Well the truth is we can't but it have an solution , number 1 why we can't eliminate fake news because of the people , we tend to believe even it's not true and media using this to brainwash us , they tend to fake the news just to have money. We can stop this by unity and all of us participate to bring not a fake news but a truth. As of now many media still fake , so many fake now a days.

So far if there is scam in bitcoin there is a fake news outside bitcoin.  Cheesy Fake news nowadays is very hard to distinguish from what is true. Fake news have a big impact of bad effect to the citizens that sometimes their day was destroyed because of fake news. One day when fake news spread throughout the entire land imagine how big the population in the particular area that believe the news. For example join in the rapple promo and you win instant 1000$. Not knowing it is fake news. Hard to eliminate fake news because there wasn't an agency to prevent fake news.

A good way to start eliminating fake news would be shutting down mainstream media. Since this is probably not possible, a plan B would be just to stop following mainstream media. After all, if nobody watches fake news any more, they virtually chease to exist.

It is sometimes really hard to understand if the news are true or fake.We can do more research on the right website and so double check if the news are not fake.We can talk ,also,with expert or friends that know more than us.
We can also failure in this way but better to ask and to do more research than nothing.I think share the own  knowledge is a good way..

It is true that it is hard to distinguish fake news from real one but we can find out which one is true if we, in ourselves take the responsibility in knowing what is really happening to our surroundings. We should know what is true about these spreading news and how it is being shared by doing our own research, knowing reliable parties/sources who really knows everything about this news. We should also stop believing in things that we just heard from somewhere which we do not really know anything that happened in that news. We should also stop ourselves being one of these people who spread these fake news.

Tbh, everything on the internet is fake news. If you're into content marketing, you'd probably understand why.

Look up any article on any website that's somewhat got traffic coursing through it. They're all fake. I'm not saying the news is completely fake, like "Trump just started a war with Asia!"

It's more like, you'll see headlines like: "How Bitcoin Is Destroying the Sheep Industry." And when you read the article, it doesn't even really mention sheep, but mentions some very weak speculation on how 1 or 2 agricultural farmers have stopped farming in order to invest in bitcoin mining.

Dumb shit like that. So it's not fake news, but it's more like tabloid bs.

And it's not just tabloid websites that do that... you see this stuff on like Mother Jones and big news companies.

Just sensationalism that doesn't really give any valuable info.

photos can be easily photoshoped, and cgi's is quite a candy in the eye these days. It's kind of hard what news should we believe these days, we have to make sure that these news are  not fabricated in any forms. Of course live coverage would be a great help but people should be vigilant on what stories should they share on social media too.

it is very difficult to fight against this, as long as the reporters and their channels have unlimited rights to present in this form the news that they are profitable and do not bear any responsibility for this, ordinary people and even the stars will suffer, because when reporters are paid good money for the "news" of their it's hard to stop the pedagogue than anything, although there are decent journalists who fight for the truth in the form that it is committed by the bark, so as not to lead us through the false track of customized news.

news media is an important thing in sharing information, really a lot of news is still fresh and true reality but not a few news that contains lies, I can not comment much but we as media users wise should really filter out which opinion and reality , and do not be satisfied with one source of information just look for comparison through other media, that's all I can say thank you.

Most viewers do not take the time to personally research on a specific topic that media is presenting,because they believe the source is credible.This means that when viewers see these things, they automatically hold truth to it and spread it around via mouth or social media.Rumors then get started and people base good or bad judgements around it and may even act on it.It is an unfortunate cycle. So eliminate fake news!!!

Mainstream media pumps out just as much if not more fake news than any alternative news source.

The problem is they are controlled by people in power to promote an agenda, remove alternate news sources and they crap they churn out goes unchallenged or stories they wish to cover up will never see the light of day.

To be honest I'm not agreed on the news because yes it's true now a days news are just fake , just to say that their have news to tackle about. But instead a truth it becomes a lie.

In the era of Internnet it's impossible. Of course, there are some projects on blockchain already developed for news control, but I don't think they will be soon mass-adopted. The only way out is to perceive everything with a cool mind and never make quick decisions. And, of course, make your own life a focus of interest, not the celebrities' or politicians' ones!

You are definitely not familiar with the power of Machine Learning and Neural networks, mate. There are already algorithms which answer the "is it fake?" question with ~70% of confidence.
I totally agree with you, that you should be cold-minded and never fall into quick decisions and etc. But some events are more than that. Some of them are so hard to prove and investigate that people start to join groups and investigate that event together, and even that united process can take several months! (for example Bellingcat group and their investigation of MH-17).
That is why I think that it is more important not to "detect" fake, but to mark the source of the fake news and warn users that "trust level of this source is low, be cautious!".
And with modern technologies this is possible.
You do not need to control the news - you should take control of the information sources you are checking every day, and there will be a platform which will help with that.
