In this report we go through our special fake News Bites and highlight the fake facts, false figures and factual errors in each story.

We look at how social media allows fake news to spread around the world at the touch of a button - and what the Government and companies like Facebook, Whatsapp, Instagram and Twitter are doing to try to stop it.
