The Story: I had enough fake news clouding my head even before remembering the words of Zobra the Seer, that today I would encounter great peril, end up in the news, and discover the fate of my great-grandparents. Get out, Zobra. I just want to head to the Algarve for some R&R. The Concept: On July 19, I read the main page of the top fifteen most popular global news websites to see if I could detect what was fake news or real news reported elsewhere as fake news. I had no clue. Whatever, but an idea came out of this futile exercise. Having participated in speedIF the previous year, I thought these headlines would make great parameters for a speedIF competition. I never got that far, but the idea stuck with me. Eventually, I took a headline from each site and came up with a story tying them all together. The end result is Fake News. The July 19 headlines appear as footnotes and have real URL's linked to them if you're interested in visiting the actual news site. Note that none of the articles are germane to the game -- only the headlines are. NOTE: The following walkthru is the shortest path that allows you to trigger every footnote, which in Fake News, can be loosely considered as the scoring system.
